There's been a lot of news about possible land development west of the Hollywood sign. The latest new is
Hugh Hefner decided to put buying another girlfriend on the back burner and donate money to prevent any development around the sign and the land will be turned over to Griffith Park. I'm shocked the land hasn't been developed already, at least into a giant parking lot. If you want to be a millionaire in this town, open up a parking lot. In New York, no one would let a chunk of land next a famous tourist attraction sit idle for a second. If the Hollywood sign was in New York, not only would the land around it be covered in "luxury" glass box condos, each letter of the sign would have it's own business:
- W= Another Starbucks, in case the "H" Starbucks isn't convenient for you.
- D= The sign is very big and quite a walk. You'll need another Starbucks.
And of course a new sign would have to be mounted on top of the Hollywood sign to promote its new owner:
Trump.
bwahahahahaha! my friends never believed me when i would tell them about how astor place had 3 starbucks on it...and new yorkers think los angelenos are lazy with our cars. heaven forbid you have to cross a street to get coffee...
