The globally recognized HOLLYWOOD sign is spelled out in 44-foot tall (13 m) white capital letters and is 352 feet long (107 m). The sign (formerly the Hollywoodland Sign) is an American landmark and cultural icon located in Los Angeles, California. It is situated on Mount Lee, in the Hollywood Hills area of the Santa Monica Mountains. The sign overlooks Hollywood, Los Angeles.
The sign was originally created in 1923 as an advertisement for a local real estate development, but due to increasing recognition, the sign was left up. The sign has been a frequent target of pranks and vandalism across the decades, but it has since undergone restoration, including the installation of a security system to deter vandalism. The sign is protected and promoted by The Hollywood Sign Trust, a nonprofit organization, while its site and the surrounding land are part of Griffith Park.
Viewed from lower ground, the contours of the hills give the sign a wavy appearance. When viewed from the same height, the word appears nearly straight.
The sign makes frequent appearances in popular culture, particularly in establishing shots for films and television programs set in or around Hollywood. Signs of similar style, but spelling different words, are frequently seen as parodies.
en.wikipedia.o...
Hollywood is a neighborhood in the central region of Los Angeles, California. This densely populated neighborhood is notable as the home of the U.S. film industry, including several of its historic studios, and its name has come to be a shorthand reference for the industry and the people associated with it.
Hollywood was a small community in 1870 and was incorporated as a municipality in 1903. It was consolidated with the city of Los Angeles in 1910, and soon thereafter a prominent film industry emerged, eventually becoming the most recognizable film industry in the world.
en.wikipedia.o...
The Hollywood Hills are a part of the Santa Monica Mountains and also a hillside neighborhood of the same name in the central region of the city of Los Angeles, California.
A total of 21,588 people lived in the neighborhood's 7.05 square miles, according to the 2000 U.S. census. The median household income in 2008 dollars was $69,277, considered high for the city but about average for the county. The percentage of households earning $125,000 or more was high, compared to the county at large. The average household size of 1.8 people was relatively low. Renters occupied 56.5% of the housing units, and homeowners the rest.

Don't feel bad I left on a Greyhound bus to Los Angeles in 20018 at the age of 47 thinking the same thing but ended up homeless living outside of a Denny's restaurant off of Sunset in Hollywood until my dad sent off me to get back on Greyhound and come back to Indiana. Thank God for cellphones

[@starbright6579]

When I was a kid in the early 90s I used to stare at that Hollywood sign on TV as if it was a message from God try to tell me something but I was too young to catch on. My older sisters would wonder why I would just stare at the TV looking at the sign. God was telling me you're going to be a film producer and have a studio in Hollywood, CA

[@saybanana]

The Hollywood Sign used to be called Hollywoodland. It was a real estate advertisement meant to sell suburban housing below the sign around early 1920s. At this time Hollywood was still growing. A lot of it was farms but slowly the film industry started moving in. Also cars became popular in the 1920s not just LA, but USA and many parts of the world, so you didnt have to live near public transportation or city center or own a horse. You can live in the Hollywood hills but still be near a busy city section of Hollywood. Of course no one went hiking to the Hollywood sign back then nor was it a tourist attraction to visit. No one had mobile phones to take selfies. I love the narrow roads of the Hollywood hills. I bet it was very nice, quiet and peaceful in the past before all the tourists cars. Also the trees were short so you had great views of the growing city skyline.

I'm loving this one, I really want to go there because it looks so lush and beautiful, plus I've got a lot of references from GTA V in my mind. I'm not so fond of the sign itself, but rather the neighborhood, vegetation and roads.

[@azn007hitman]

Autunite the best time to visit LA is in the spring between January and May, that is when most of our flowers bloom. The rest of the year is very hot and dry, we don't have much vegetation except for palm trees and cactuses during that time.

[@Autunite]

Thanks for the tip! I was initially going there in October/November, but I might change it to either March or April. It would be my second time traveling to the US, my first time was New York and New Jersey last Christmas. It was biting cold, but a great experience. I'd love to rent a car in LA and visit the more local and non-touristy parts of California.

[@ChrisTheAspergerGuy]

The footage you're able to get from driving around in these cities, especially Los Angeles, continues to impress me. I've never seen that much of the Hollywood Hills in that detail before. It looks like a nice area, but those neighborhoods have some pretty narrow streets. That has to be kind of a pain in the ass for the people who live there.

[@marcopolo2395]

Narrow? Where i am from, those roads are avenues
