Kind of sad that Hollywood died, but then, they did it to themselves.

[@koilamaoh4238]

No really, its just that the boomer generation and them before; hollywood is just a byproduct of their era, no one cares for, its only the old crowd mainly that liked it; as anyone can make a name for themselves on any social media platform, of many; people are finding other ways of entertaining themselves than the old boomer day. People are adapting changing as each generation creates new ideas.. Nothing stays the same forever; thats just basically like the "taliban" holding onto old ideas which are outdated and "old" people getting angry cause they no likey change and they are being phased out.

Why is it sad? Hollywood has always been trash and dirty.

GIV I liked a lot the matching of the photos and the street about Bruce's dojo. I'm surprised the city has not placed any markers about it. I think a lot of people would go to visit as they do with Gold's gym. You should push for that at City hall.

[@richardmcleod1930]

Many film noir movies of the 1940's were filmed in Downtown LA most notably "Possessed" and "Mildred Pierce" with Joan Crawford. Jack Webb and his famous television show "Dragnet" were also filmed in the Los Angeles area.. The LA City Hall building is probably the most photographed building in the World as is the Los Angeles County Hospital front facade not to forget the "Hollywood sign":.
