Hollywood

Los Angeles is a place that make many think of Hollywood and fame. It seems so different from Michigan, which is where I have lived my whole life. I don't think I could ever live in LA but I am very curious to see what it is like. I could go to the walk of fame or maybe even see someone famous. There's so much going on there compared to Michigan and that's why I think it would be great to experience it.

The Hollywood sign is one thing I would love to see in person. It's one of the things it's most known for. This sign was originally put up as advertisement for a local real estate development in 1923. The original sign actually read Hollywoodland for this development but was later changed and restored. I've seen plenty of movies that include this landmark and it seems it's been there longer than I knew.

Another amazing attraction in LA is the walk of fame. This contains more than 2,500 five point stars in honor of actors, musicians, directors and producers. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions, having millions visit each year. Each star weighs about 300 pounds and a couple have been stolen over the years when they were temporarily removed for construction. There are many famous stars on this walk including many I probably don't know. It would be a great thing to see how all of those people were honored for there success and talent.
 

Well looking up interesting things about Hollywood and other places there to see, I found that you can take tours of celebrities homes. This seems like something many people would pay to do but I didn't know they did this. People go one tours through current homes of celebrities in La as well as former homes. I'm not sure I would ever go on one of these tours but it would be nice to see how they live.

Los Angeles has a very different atmosphere and lifestyle then here in Michigan. I hope that one day I can go there and see what it's all about and how they live there.
