Friday, October 30, 2009 – My Town

Been living in Hollywood for nearly twenty years now, so let me show you around my town. And yep, that's Hollywood High School, one block south of the Kodak and the Chinese theaters, with its alumni mural –

Up the street is the old Masonic Hall, now the ABC venue where they tape "Jimmy Kimball Live!" It seems that "she" will be dropping by tonight.

Across the street at the famous Chinese Theater they're setting up another WORLD PREMIERE OF A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE – and this one seems to involve a nice car. These happen all the time. You get used to it.
