“Hollywood Blvd. has always been the dregs. When I was a star-struck kid, it was horrible walking on that street to look at all the wonderful stars on the sidewalk.”
Years ago, I hired a HS classmate at a company where I was their principal engineer to do installations of systems we designed. We sent him to LA to do a job and he found the cheapest place to stay ( on a weekly basis) was a “no tell motel” on Hollywood Blvd. that normally rented it’s rooms “by the hour” if you get my drift. He said it took some getting used to to have mirrors on the ceiling, an unusual paint scheme, and waking up to a “naked skydiver” heading his way!
That’s funny!
I haven’t been on that street in about ten years - I like to eat at Musso & Frank’s.
