We started at In'N'Out burger, where I ordered the famous Double Double and fresh Fries, "animal style" (topped with thousand island and chopped onions). What an awesome meal!
Then we took the long way to get to the other side of town, driving the length of Sunset Blvd. We passed through Beverly Hills and Bel-air, seeing some HUGE, majorly expensive realty, and almost reached Malibu before we returned back into town. I did keep an eye out for 10086, and though it wasn't marked, the property where it would have set was a full city block by itself! Surely this is where Norma Desmond would have resided!
When we got to Hollywood, the fog and smog were just too thick to be able to see the Hollywood sign on the side of the hill, no matter how close we got. But we parked and walked around to see all the legendary theatres along the Hollywood Walk of Fame: Pantages, Stella Adler, El Capitan, Kodak (where the Oscars are held annually) and the mecca of Hollywood - Graumann's Chinese!
We saw loads of legendary names on their stars, and took our pictures with the ones for whom we were willing to lay on a dirty sidewalk. ;) It's an incredible and surreal experience to place your hands in the same place those legends have laid theirs.
Thanks, Vitti, for my personal tour of Hollywood! I had a blast!
