Hollywood is NOT the Hollywood you're thinking of, it's actually the prime spot for run-away kids, drug addicts and street people. Unless you are really interested in the old movie houses and the Walk of Stars, you'll probably be disappointed, bored, annoyed, tired.

If you're dead set on going, atleast do something worthwhile, like seeing a movie at the Egyptian or something and make the walk of fame etc. a sort of bonus!

Hollywood. It is small and grimy. After you see Mann's Chinese Theatre and the footprints, go across the street to the Roosevelt Hotel and look at their free exhibit of old time Hollywood. Then beat a trail out and go somewhere else.

Ah, the Walk of Fame ... you can feel the sleaze settle on you like a film. These are my good buddies Katherine (a.k.a. Robotlove) and Emily.

Hollywood Blvd! I should warn it is not what you think. Sure you will see the stars and prints the famous left behind. But they did just that left them behind. Hollywood blvd smells of urine and shops that sell the same useless tourist crap. Don't buy into it!

Hollywood Blvd. Unless you're totally desperate to see the Walk of Fame there's really nothing else to see. It's just lined with overpriced souvenir shops and generic (and overpriced) restaurants. But to each his own.


	Hollywood/Walk of Fame: Hollywood - A glimpse of a celebraty!

Mickey Mouse.

A must see is the Chinese Theatre. Not because of it's fake Chinese architecture, but because of the hand- and footprints of celebraties in the cement floor. Over 2 million tourists visit The Chinese Theatre in the hope to see a glimpse of a celebraty. Something you won't miss in Hollywood is The Walk Of Fame. These are 2700 bronze stars in the pavement of Hollywood. About 2000 celebraties have their name written in the bronze star. It's nice to stray over the stars in order to find the famous person you are looking for. But don't stray off to much, because it might get naughty... All except one major filmstudio, all the studios have left Hollywood. They're working hard to clean up the neighbourhood and are building some prestigious projects and want the Oscar awards back in Hollywood.

Nice wall paintings in
Hollywood.

All except one major filmstudio, all the studios have left Hollywood. They're working hard to clean up the neighbourhood and are building some prestigious projects and want the Oscar awards back in Hollywood. Finally we visited the Roosevelt Hotel which is a beautiful building. The doors of this Grand Hotel opened on May 27, 1927 and became known as "The Home of the Stars" and was the site of the first Academy Awards presentation in 1929. It was a great way to experience the allure of the pas which will hopefully return after the renovations...


	Hollywood/Walk of Fame: Walk of Lame

Doing the walk of Fame and Grahm's Chinese Theatre really isn't what it's made out to be. A bit of a let-down that you needn't waste your time with. It's crowded, predictably touristy, fairly boring and a higher concentration of souvenir shops than anywhere else in the world, I'd imagine! On the bright side, we did see a very un-Australian Paul Hogan and a huge billboard of the American flag -- in a car lot! (which I thought was a funny expression of overly-zealous US patriotism).

Go early, see the things you feel you need to see, then get out before the crowds hit.


	Hollywood/Walk of Fame: No hookers or pimps, just what I wanted to see

Every L.A tourist walks down the infamous blvd. So someone famous has had a name in a star and most of the people unless you are a movie buff you will have never heard of. At least it takes your mind off some the unquestionable area. Although its not as bad as people would assume its not really dangerous, its always crowded

The 'hollywood and highland' shopping and dining outdoor mall is its only saving grace, also the kodak theater where they have the oscars

If you want celebs, go to beverly hills

Everybody goes here. There are probably worse things you can do but try not to waste too much money here. Don't let the beggars mess with you...just ignore them like you do at home and they'll go away.

Most of the movies premier here at the various theaters so if you are lucky you might just catch a "Red Carpet" event so you can see how short most of your favorite actors really are in person.

It's one of a kinda
