Visiting Hollywood! Where to go, What to see?
Visiting Hollywood! Where to go, What to see? Well, I recently had the opportunity to visit…thanks to my gracious tour guide, my sorority sister Janae that happens to live in the area! I had a wonderful time, first off seeing the infamous Hollywood sign and walking the “Hollywood Walk of Fame“, the world’s most famous sidewalk and then visiting the TCL Chinese Theatre where numerous celebs left their hands and/or foot prints behind. “It was once stated that “to visit Los Angeles and not see the Chinese is like visiting China and not seeing the Great Wall. “Grauman’s Opulent, awe-inspiring presence and history has been a cornerstone of Hollywood for over 75 years” {source}. So I am so happy that I got the chance to stop by! Some of my favorites: Marilyn Monroe…my hands fit hers perfectly! I loved seeing Billy Graham’s Star of the Walk of Fame!
I also got the opportunity to visit the Dolby Theatre, which hosted the Academy Awards – the Oscars this year. Interestingly enough the theatre is located in a mall. I can only imagine the scene when its Oscars time…I guess the mall is shutdown. The area was rather busy and obviously a tourist spot. They getting ready for the premier of the Inside Out movie and Jimmie Kimmel Live’s studio was also located there.
Before leaving the mall, we enjoyed one of my favorite chain restaurants Johnny Rockets…where there is always good burgers, fries and a smile! 
Visiting Hollywood soon or have you visited in the past? What sites did you see?
How fun! I’d love to go to Hollywood sometime and see all the handprints and stars 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Hollywood is on my bucket list! I have a few friends that have lived out there, but I’ve never made the trip – one of these days…
I haven’t been to Hollywood in almost 20 years. We saw all the things you listed, except the Dolby Theater. We also drove through the neighborhoods to see the big houses. It was really fun.
Sounds like a great trip! I have not been to Hollywood yet but it is on my bucket list!
I haven’t been there since I was in high school! Would love to go back and see all the fun sights!
Ahh I’ve only been once and this makes me want to go back! So much fun!
