"Diehard old-roads fans will be pleasantly surprised to know that Route 66 across Los Angeles still exists, almost completely intact. Heading east from Santa Monica—and now marked by prominent beige road signs as Historic Route 66 1935–1964—old Route 66 follows Santa Monica Boulevard through the hearts of Beverly Hills (where Will Rogers once was mayor) and West Hollywood. In Hollywood itself, Santa Monica Boulevard runs past the cemetery-cum-theme park Hollywood Forever (daily; free; 323/469-1181) where such luminaries as Rudolf Valentino and Mel Blanc are entombed, overlooked by the water tower of legendary Paramount Studios. It’s a unique experience by day, and even more so on nights when the cemetery is host to “Midnight Movies,” outdoor screenings of its residents’ works." (
