Looking Back While Moving Forward: Inside Westwood Village
A single antique streetlight on a Westwood sidewalk — cast iron, blue-and-gold UCLA tile at the base — sums up everything this neighborhood is about: old and new, layered instead of replaced. There’s a tennis shop that once sold hunting gear (Arthur Ashe used to dust the moose head over the register), a tailor who’s altered the same families’ clothes for 35 years, and an Art Deco movie palace reopening in 2027. Westwood Village has kept its character even as the D Line’s final stretch prepares to change how people reach it.
