Friday, November 19, 2005 – the long trail from the Griffith Park Observatory, high over Hollywood, across the hills to the Hollywood sign, starts with this warning.

Hollywood warning sign and Hollywood Sign

The context – turn around and the observatory is there, but you cannot get in.  The restoration will take a year or two more.

Oh yeah, this sign, across the street from the Erotic Museum on Hollywood Boulevard, reminds you not to mess with the women of Southern California – remember Rosie the Riveter.  No wimp princesses out here –
