I live in Silverlake, Los Angeles, we can see the Hollywood sign from our backyard. Our home was built in 1923. Everything was built at the same time.
Love Silverlake. Great vibrant area.
Hooray for Hollywood’s 100th birthday of the sign!
One of the donation of fixing the Hollywood sign was made in honor of groucho marx
It is a nice hike from the Griffith Observatory to the sign and back.
As a Hollywood resident for nearly 20 years now I can’t explain the magic and hope that little sign on the hill gives to our city and all who come to see it. It’s a symbol of possibility. You forget it’s there until you look up and see it occasionally and remember wow I live in Hollywood.
How empty.
... hey, neighbor! i live near the Scientology Celebrity Centre and living in Hollywood is AWESOME to me! looking North i see the HOLLYWOOD sign and looking Southeast i get to view Downtown Los Angeles.
@@lewstone5430 Totally. I was born in Hollywood and grew up in Beachwood Canyon and the sign is not remotely magical. It is not a work of art, or particularly beautiful or anything - it was put there by a real estate company to lure prospective home owners to the area, and that's all. The neighborhood itself is the magical part and it's been almost ruined in recent yeas by entitled, selfish tourists who ruin the peacefulness of the area. I'm glad I don't live up there any more because of them.
@@MothGirl007 I hear you. At least you got to enjoy it for awhile. Love your screen-name btw, like a superhero.
@@MothGirl007 i love to visit the sign after a trip to Universal Studios sometimes, but i don’t consider myself selfish or entitled. Please explain what that means to you, or what behavior they exhibit.
I went horseback riding right underneath the Hollywood sign, and I lived right below it.
2:05 Thank you for positing that photo. That is a photo of the rock band Fleetwood Mac before Buckingham and Nicks joined the band. The guy in the red shirt is Bob Welch who wrote the classic Hyptonized. All the music before Buckingham and Nicks of FM is well worth checking out.
Bob was wonderful. He lived in Nashville at the time of his tragic passing. 😪 Thanks for the music, RIP 💖🕊️💫
Such a simple thing, but it's become iconic.
Incredible definition of a sign.
I lived on Beachwood Dr in the early eighties... hiked up to that sign and loved the views. I could also see it from my bedroom window. I loved my Hollywood days!
Saw this for the first time in January of this year, from the Griffith Observatory. So cool to see these iconic symbols of Hollywood!
I used to live in West Hollywood in the early 90’s. A friend or two and I used to go running around the reservoir below the sign. One day I discovered one could run/hike up the side of the hills and on a narrow path that crested the top of them. The views were amazing on clear days: the LA basin on one side and the SF Valley on the other. Right next to this was the big sign and one could run over to it then (no big chain link fence like now) and climb up on it if one wanted to. I remember the back of the letters were covered in graffiti and kinda ratty up close.
My first trip before moving to Hollywood my best friend and I climbed up from Sunset Blvd starting at the guitar center. A couple of young metal heads walking all the way to touch those letters clad in leather jackets on a hot June day. It is a steep climb although coming down was more sketchy. The symbolism that sign gives to the dreams brilliant
The HOLLYWOOD sign is the heirloom that for the last 100 years has been a reliable foundation, for Los Angeles teaching generations of Californians harmony, patience, balance, and luck... passed down generation after generation...
I guess that makes the HOLLYWOOD sign, Los Angeles's official "Bonsai Tree."
My family and I hiked up to the sign about 10 years ago. It’s an easy hike! That was my first time. Got some great pics. My movie-buff kids are so spoiled.
The amazing thing about the sign is when you get up close to it and realize how big it is.
Think about what that sign has overseen for the past 100 years...all of those movies and stars and dreams.
Was up and early this a.m. to hike near the sign. It's amazing
Hooray for Hollywood... that song is iconic and sung by Bing Crosby and it used to say Land on the end but it's got a legendary story about a death back in the early days of the movies 🎥
I lived underneath the sign when I became an " Enmancipated Minor" at age 15 yrs. Old.😮
Happy 100th Birthday!!
It's crazy to see the old video of old downtown Hollywood. Looks like was a beautiful city at one point.
I remember back in the seventies reading about the disrepair the sign had fallen into at the time and how it read "HULLYWO D". It wasn't long after that I read there were plans to restore it.
I had read the name of the housing community was named after a street in Chicago where underground film studios worked back when you had to be licensed by Edison to make films.
In popular culture, Hollywood sign has seen in video games by Rockstar Games
1.GTA San Andreas
2.GTA V
3.LA Noire
I knew the lore before I moved to LA and yet you are right.. it is uplifting when you spy it from differing neighborhoods. I loved looking up from my hikes in the canyon to see it. I only lived in LA for two years and sadly a big regret was that I could never get my frisky dog to sit still for a portrait.
Great clip
Ha ha! Great one, CBS: BURBANK on HOLLYWOOD! So fun!
Beautiful☁️❄️☃️
The idea of sluggish sales in the Hollywood Hills 🤯
Crazy right!
I feel like I turned 100
Poor math. The sign is not 100. It is 45! In 1978 the sign was completely removed and rebuilt, smaller, all new and different materials, slightly different support footings. There is a 1978 Chamber press release substantiating the age of 45 years too.
well combined it is still 100 so
The Hollywood sign is not in Hollywood its in Los Feliz/Griffith Park which is in Los Angeles. Hollywood is not a city, its area of Los Angeles.
... check your FACTS . the HOLLYWOOD sign falls in the 90068 zip code area . the Los Feliz area falls in the 90027 zip code area. a FACT that can be EASILY Googled.
Hollywood was incorporated as a municipality in 1903. The northern and eastern parts of the neighborhood were consolidated with the City of Los Angeles in 1910. West Hollywood is a separate city that was incorporated in 1984
@@RaymondHng I live in Hollywood. What are you talking about?
@@ChosenOne6666 Hollywood use to be a city in 1903. It was later merged with Los Angeles to become a neighborhood in 1910. _West_ Hollywood, on the other hand, is a separate city from Los Angeles that was incorporated in 1984.
@@RaymondHng You need to write better context. I didnt understand your gibberish.
Wow
100 years ago, the rise of Hollywood is born
I can see why that they wouldn't fully restore it to "Hollywoodland" but would be neat.
100 years of magick. In Hollywoodland.
The sign gets changed from "Hollywoodland" to "Hollywood" in the 1991 film The Rocketeer.
Why isn't the Hollywood sign illuminated at night? 🤔
Hollywood more like Hollyweird is falling apart now I'm very glad 😀👏
2:06 Academy Award-winning actress Michelle Yeoh.
Who's mansion was that on the slope? Where did it go?
Any mountain ⛰ lions 🦁 roaming free?
In the movie: 1941.....
There was a Japanese sub that was going to attack the coast of California...
They knew they were on target when they saw a young lady clinging on to their periscope....only in HOLLYWOOD.
Thep Captain of the sub shouted out...
HOLLYWOOD!!!
HOLLYWOOD!!!...
he had arrived....
... only in FANTASY land...!
Lots of bodies found in that area....super creepy😳
In Hollywoodland.
I used to see it from my apt. balcony when I was just 22 years young. A two bedrooms/two bathrooms which back in the early 80's was just $550.00 dollars rent, split between my roommate, I only paid $275.00 !! I have Google it and today the same place is $3,585.00 !!! After that, I bought a house up in the hills of the SILVERLAKE area and still have the view from my backyard facing west🤩
... They failed to mention the time some clever people, managed to block out a portion of the two o's... To change the look to Hollyweed ... I believe they used large tarps or sheets, to alter the letters for one morning ...
... this was supposed to be a POSITIVE CELEBRATION of the sign and not some ☢️☢️☢️☢️ type !
All that tourists have to do to see ACTUAL celebrities is go to Urth Cafe on Melrose, Erawhon (most locations), the private, upscale shops on Melrose PLACE st…..not Melrose Ave., and hang out at the Pointe Dume Plaza in Malibu. …….Instead they go to Hollywood Blvd (🤔🤷🏼♂️🤔), Venice, or Santa Monica beach (😳😳😳), and Rodeo Drive (🙄🙄🙄).
In the 1980’s, sign was altered to say HOLLYWEED, HOLYWOOD, OLLYWOOD and about 8 other names.
They didn't mention "Hollyweed" and other creative changes the sign has had over its 100 year life.
... that may be a FACT 4 the UN-SERIOUS type of folk! 🧐
Almost killed me once. Never climb up under the H. Very steep. Go from the Observatory over to the D, horizontally. Like they did. H is bad news.
Stupid was the wrong word
.... what???....
Hollywood has been out of decent story's for 30 years. Remember "The Sting"? It has been a while since the bedrock movie has been made. And no story has ever been better. Nowadays, it's baby food.
... this STORY was about the HOLLYWOOD sign. nothing MORE; nothing LESS!
Oops! Are they gonna respell it???? Holly WEIRD!!! 😳💩
... and i am sure that YOU just add the WEIRDNESS to the AMERICAN STORY! 😡👹👺🧟🤪😜. 👀!
👎🏿 to Diane Ross Merry Christmas and Tracee Ellis Ross
It’s a iconic eye sore that represents nothing but entitled overpaid filth and bad movie pushing trash
Now let me tell you how I really feel
You must be fun at parties.
Not really but thanks for your opinion I guess.
Let’s not forget that some crimes were committed in that area.
@@pcastromedina yep
.
More than likely she's never invited not ever again!
I understand where she's coming from however... her words are seasoned with zero salt...! Anyways, have a good day!
