Doheny Drive is a major north–south thoroughfare for Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, in the U.S. state of California. It starts a few blocks south of Pico Boulevard and travels north past Sunset Boulevard. Doheny encounters few traffic lights, making it a relatively quick north–south trip. From Santa Monica Boulevard to Sunset Boulevard are condominiums and houses, adjacent to the Sunset Strip. Doheny Drive forms the western end of the Strip, which ends at Crescent Heights Boulevard to the east.
It is named for Edward L. Doheny, a Los Angeles oil tycoon.
Famous quotes containing the word drive:
“Have Johnny fix him a sandwich or something. Any man running for the Senate has to wantsomething. Right, Bud?
Okay, start the bus then. And drive them over a cliff.”
