The Hollywood Sign
It's been decades since Hollywood gained its reputation as the center of
American film-making, and today's Hollywood sometimes fails to live up to
visitors' ideas of it. Nevertheless, it's a fun place to visit for most people,
who enjoy the blatantly touristy Walk of Fame and other attractions. It's also
the home of the Hollywood Bowl, our favorite outdoor summer concert venue, the
Kodak Theater where the Academy Awards are held and more.
