Vine Street

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the street in London, see Vine Street, Westminster.

Vine is a street in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California that runs south — north — north — south from Melrose Avenue up past Hollywood Boulevard. The intersection of Hollywood and Vine was once a symbol of Hollywood itself; the famous intersection later fell into neglect and lost its status as a hub of Hollywood aside from in a historical sense, but renovations and a new up-scale hotel are in the works.

The Hollywood/Vine (LACMTA Station) serves the intersection with the station entrance located at Hollywood Blvd. and Argyle Ave., located one block east.

The Capitol Records building, Capitol Tower, is located just north of the intersection of Hollywood & Vine.

South of Melrose, Vine turns into Rossmoore Avenue, a Hancock Park thoroughfare that ends at Wilshire Boulevard.

In a ceremony on 12 February 2007, talk show host Jimmy Kimmel announced the build of The W Hollywood Hotel & Residences. The city-block-size project worth $600 million intends to restore luster to the iconic intersection.

Metro Local 210 and Metro Rapid 710 serve Vine Street.
