I couldn't get a panoramic view, because of the way the building is set up, so this is just one angle - off in the distance are the famous H-O-L-L-Y-W-O-O-D letters, which I never understood the point of.

Enjoying The View
I don't have time now to post - perhaps later, after I get the cooking started. Meanwhile, here is one of the views I was able to enjoy in beautiful, sunny California, from the 20th floor of a nice office building in the city.

ReplyDeleteThe Hollywood sign was originally an ad for Hollywoodland Real Estate! You can read about its fascinating history here: http://www.npr.org/programs/morning/features/patc/hollywoodsign/
ReplyDeleteOK Ezzie, where did you interview? I once went on a business trip and got the same view from my office building. I'm guessing Wilshire Ave, possibly in the 3000's?
ReplyDeleteMCAryeh - cool! :) Now that you mention it, I think I remember that...
ReplyDeleteSL - Heh. :) Honestly, I'm not even sure. I'd have to check...
Wow - good call!! Wilshire Ave, but in the 5000's. :)
Now I understand why Park La Brea is so clear. You don't get quite that view from the 3000's.
ReplyDeleteThis brings back memories of a business trip long ago and a bad hotel choice.
