What to see in Los Angeles: interesting sights of the city

Hollywood

hollywoodsign.org

Large white letters HOLLYWOOD, shaded by densely growing greens on Mount Lee, is perhaps the most famous inscription with the name of the city. The inscription appeared in 1923, thanks to enterprising realtors who tried to sell more expensive land around the city. By 1978, it had deteriorated and was replaced by a new similar, but made of stronger and more durable materials. Old letters were sold for 450 thousand dollars. The inscription is visible from all corners of Los Angeles, and yet the best place for photographs on its background is the observation deck of Griffith Park opposite Mount Lee. Approaching the inscription itself is prohibited by law, which is closely monitored by security cameras and round-the-clock security.

Avenue of Stars - one of the most popular attractions in Hollywood and all of Los Angeles. Each year, more than a dozen million guests arrive in the city to find their idol among the stars in the stone slabs of the sidewalk. This attraction has already stretched over 18 quarters, and continues to grow - new stars “light up” every two weeks. In addition to the name, each star has a movie camera, a TV, a phonograph, a microphone or two masks, depending on their role in show business. The boxing matches of Mohammed Ali were also equated with theatrical art. Some fictional characters are immortalized on the alley - Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and The Simpsons. And some real personalities were twice awarded stars, for example, John Lennon as a member of The Beatles and a solo artist, like Ringo Star and George Harrison

Inside, guests are greeted by a rich interior in the style of imperial China.

Walt Disney Concert Hall

A spectacular concert venue was erected by Walt Disney widow Lillian in memory of her husband. The unusual stainless steel construction caused many problems - the reflected sun heated the sidewalks and nearby houses, blinded pedestrians and drivers. However, it was soon possible to solve the problem by treating the surface with a sandblasting machine. The Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra found the hall acoustics best for their performances.
