Four days in Hollywood, CA recently... not much time to do anything besides work, and the weather was awful (for L.A.), but I did walk around a bit, had a couple of decent meals, and took some souvenir snaps...

The job site was in Universal City, and so was this nifty indoor skydiving thing... I was toying with the idea, but never got around to it.

Typical scene along Highland Ave; lots of these nice Art Deco pastel-colored buildings and cool neon signs around here. Mel's Drive-In (no longer a drive-in) is a pretty good old-school diner; had a nice brunch there.

Grauman's Chinese Theater, on Hollywood Blvd. Annoying tourists everywhere... not my scene. but I love this building!

We did drive up Mulholland Drive at one point, to check out the scenic overlook up there.  Had to get a picture of this thing, I guess... ;D

one more set- a little spotting...

Did you see a Yellow Ford Coupe or Black Chevy when you were at Mel's?  ;)

Was the Red Carpet at Grauman's for you??

I have a picture of the Hollywood from a different angle.  We were at the Griffith Park Observatory when I got the shot.  Not a good angle.

Great shots, Have fun and you should have done the skydiving thing!!

I see the air quality in Hollywood hasn't improved. On the day I visited that Hollywood sign was invisible.

#!: I was there on business, which makes me a traveler, not a tourist. ;)

#2: I'm not annoying (usually). ;D
