LA from the ground Hollywood

All in all it was a really depressing city, I am glad I took the tour but I would hate to live there, there is apparently a fence round the Hollywood sign because people used to climb up the letters and commit suicide by jumping off.



some tours take you round all the stars houses, or you can buy the map and take your own tour, this was not for me.



the tour stopped at the Kodak theatre which hosts "the Oscars" every year.



The Foyer has every "best picture" winner on the walls as you walk in going back many years and with a number of great films.



they are confident of a long future in this location !!!



all the stars are outside, apparently its $20,000 to have a star, we were told some of the stars pay for themselves and the costs for the rest are picked up by the studios
