[NEW YORK OMNIBUS 2629]

All:

Tonight, one of the very last stars of Hollywood's Golden Age has passed away.

Lauren Bacall, known for her vivacious, sultry on-screen personality, often starring alongside her suave tough-guy husband Humphrey Bogart, passed away today at age 89.

She leaves behind a rich legacy and echoes of a glamourous era when Hollywood was still all style, glitz, and high fashion.

In honor of the late, great Bacall, here is a FLXIBLE CLIPPER that was seen in the classic Bogart/Bacall film, "KEY LARGO".

The CLIPPERS, like the lovely Miss Bacall, recall a long-ago era, when style, fashion, and class were the bywords of the day, including buses......

Here are several 1940's-era street scenes recalling the glamorous "Bogie/Bacall" era of Hollywood and LA.

Though traction equipment dominates, buses are also to be seen......
