Wiltshire Boulevard has more
varieties Of weather at the same
time than any other street in the
world A difference of fifteen
and even twenty degrees of tenn
perature between the ends of
the Boulevard is not uncommon
it is almost a daily occurrence
the summer months Frequently
mile or two Of one end may
be blanketed in a fog so thick
that traffic is slowed to a crawl,
while the rest Of the Boulevard
is bathed in brilliant sunshine
1t has been known to rain On one
portion, sunshine on another,
dus-storm over another and fog
on still another section all at one
and the same time Humidity has
varied between the ends as much
as three points for every mile of
the 10 mile stretch, and there is
a difference Of five inches in an
nual RAINFALL.
wiltshire Boulevard has been
called the Fifth Avenue Of the
West, Highway to Hollywood,
Champs Elysees Of the Western
Hemisphere, Glamour Boulevard
Of America 1t is all of these, for
it is the show window Of Los AM
geles, paradise on Parade" and
a cross section Of all America,
But Wiltshire Boulevard is more
than these
Here are all the picturesque
personalities, strange events, Pc
culiar economic pressures, I'M
usual industrial developments,
and hodge-podge Of American
population that have made
great boulevard the most talked
about portion of this most pub
licized town.
