Cheap Vacation in Hollywood
November 26, 2009 6:06 pm 160Old Hollywood is all around you in downtown Hollywood. Avoid the tours and take a walking tour down Hollywood Blvd. from Sunset and Vine to Hollywood and Highland and then take in Grauman’s Chinese Theater and the footprints. There are now signs which give you a self-guided tour down the street.
Pick up a guide on the Blvd. from the Hollywood Arts Council which has maps and will clue you into concerts/events/festivals. We have lots of them. Also pick up the L.A. WEEKLY, a free paper (out every Thurs.) at 7-11s, newsboxes and the like. There are also up-to-date listings of music and of the lively small theater scene. Hang around the atrium of the Hollywood/Highland complex and see where the stars go up the stairs to the Oscars. Follow around the magic carpet of stardom and have a drink in the elephant court. Take pictures at the “casting couch.” Watch the street performers.
