Long-Term Hollywood Street Closure for Whole Foods
For awhile now, one lane of Selma Avenue near Hollywood Blvd. and Vine St. has been closed. Starting today, the whole block between Vine and Argyle has been shut down for a gas line relocation in preparation of Whole Foods, which is expected to open in early 2009. But for now, Selma Ave. (including sidewalks) will be closed for at least 60 days, but possibly longer.
One block away at Selma and Morningside Court, Sustainable Economic Enterprises of Los Angeles is planning to open a permanent extension of the Hollywood Farmers' Market to hold cooking classes while being a neighborhood "farm fresh" cafe with an emphasis on assistance and nutrition education to the low-income population.

I bet they will tear out those big trees on the street there. It's one of the few shady stretches in there.
