The photo is taken about one block east of Hollywood and Vine, looking west. You can, of course, pick out the noted building marquees of the Taft and the Broadway Dept. Store (separated by Vine Street) on the left and a slice of the American Airlines sign on the right with the Security Pacific sign on the rooftop seeming to be just above that, but is actually several blocks down at Cahuenga. Underneath the traffic light, the white building/billboard is all the way down at La Brea!

This article about them, from 2012, says they were installed in 2010, but I could've sworn they were here earlier than that.
