Over the last few years there has been alot of controversy concerning the fate of the Hollywood sign and the Cahuenga Peak land that surround it, so I thought I would provide an update with a bit of history.

The Hollywood sign is an international icon of the entertainment industry. I've always been a huge fan of the Hollywood sign, in large part due to the nostalgic symbolism.
It represents an era of larger than life personalities, opulent lifestyles, wonderful architecture and an amazingly complex town.
What's ironic, in light of the situation today, is that the sign originated as an advertising campaign for an upscale suburban housing development, known as "Hollywoodland".
It was selling the dream of home ownership and a lifestyle that some could only dream about.
The sign went through a facelift about 20 years ago too.
It's amazing how rich the history of the sign and surrounding area is, thanks for stopping by Ralph!
