Just curious, how far that Hollywood sign to the LA city center?

croyboy · February 16th, 2012, 06:58 AM

in a straight line: about 6.5 miles or 10.5 kilometers

That's what I love about LA. If a new tower is to be constructed, it will noticed due to the sheer space Downtown has.

I have been 3 year ago.

Compare this view to the view heading southbound on the 101 as you're coming into Hollywood. Downtown's skyline is funny. Depending on the angle, it can go from boring To spectacular. Nice pic!

milquetoast · February 18th, 2012, 11:14 AM

I think the view coming around the bend
on The Hollywood is impressive.
I used to be pleasantly surprised by new
construction when coming around that turn
(during the 80s)
but the only new construction today would
be the Marriott/Ritz tower.

They should have a big park in LA, like central park right in the middle of the city.

GatsbyGatz · February 24th, 2012, 12:26 AM

^ I think first there needs to be more development downtown to attract people to actually warrant a big park.

We already do, it's called Griffith Park, and it's bigger than central park.

That is where pictures like this.....are taken from.

Yeah like Kenni said, there's Griffith Park, a huge urban park that's minutes from Hollywood, also Topanga State Park, and many, many others, like Coldwater Canyon Park (one of my favourites, for the awesome views). LA is actually a very green city - as soon as you get anywhere elevated you can see trees everywhere and plenty of green spaces.

Anyway, on with the picture show:

Really wish they would clean that graffiti off of the bridge.

tanzirian · February 25th, 2012, 03:58 PM

That would be nice...but someone would just spraypaint new graffitti afterwards. Maybe, if downtown becomes more gentrified over the decades, and if the river is returned to a semblance of its natural look, so that the character of the surroundings changes, then perhaps there will be a time again when the bridges could be cleaned and then stay clean. But for now, any cleaning would have a very temporary effect. Not that they shouldn't freshen things up every now and then, just for the sake of maintenance.

***Kenni*** · February 26th, 2012, 04:22 AM

I love those bridges by the way. They are pieces of art, and we're lucky they're still around.
