I KNOW! Hard to Believe Ain't It?!!!
Surely just the regular folks there. hard to imagine a son or daughter of a "star" enlisting.
Many years ago I would work an occasional shift at a fire station in West Hollywood. It was lala land then so I can't begin to imagine what it's like now. I would have never believed a recruiters office could survive there.
For all it's warts, LA (which I consider Hollywood to be part of) is far more patriotic than the bay area.
Dr. Laura's son enlisted.
I am sure there are others.
I agree but Hollywood and West Hollywood is really different than LA and the towns around it.
Dr. Laura is a conservative. That's rare in the elite hollywood circles.
Ah, the American media!
True, but like the bay area which has many towns and cities, I lump it all together.
She wasnt always a conservative...
That recruiting station is along the walk of fame, and you will get a lot of tourists who are oblivious to the neighborhood looking at stars on the ground. It is also the end of the road for a lot of bright eyed kids that come out after HS to find their dreams... every spring another crop of them arrive.
True enough.
Well, it's good to find patriots in the most unlikely places too!
If you've been to Hollywood, it's a dump. I'm not sure if there are any studios still left there, but no star would be caught dead there - Malibu or Beverly Hills is where they live.
The Bay area can drop off into the ocean for all I care.
