THE LOS ANGELES ROUND - STOP BY STOP

HOLE 1 - PAR 3

Walk of Fame

The Walk of Fame had its inception in 1958. Since then, it has grown into a massive attraction in the Hollywood district of Los Angeles, California, United States, drawing 10,000,000 annual visitors. You can spend hours wandering the sidewalks to see the more than 2,800 five-pointed terrazzo-and-brass stars. These markers are embedded along fifteen blocks of Hollywood Boulevard and three blocks of Vine Street. It is officially recognized as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument. I've noticed that some people spend more time looking at their feet than the buildings around them here, which is fair given how many stars there are to find. It is a great place to see how the city honors its legends right under your toes.

Hollywood Walk of Fame

Let me show you the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the Hollywood district of Los Angeles. This monument is made of more than 2,800 five-pointed terrazzo-and-brass stars embedded in the sidewalks. You can find them along fifteen blocks of Hollywood Boulevard and three blocks of Vine Street. It had its inception in 1958 and has since become a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument. It is a popular spot for visitors, with 10,000,000 people coming to see it every year. I usually see people staring down at the brass instead of looking up at the sky, but that is where all the magic is located. It is quite a sight to see the crowds gathered around the terrazzo on any given afternoon.

The Hollywood Museum

You will first notice the vast collection of memorabilia from the history of American motion pictures and television. This is the Hollywood Museum, located at North Highland Avenue in the Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, United States. Beyond the movie props and television artifacts, the building itself is a piece of history. The museum is housed in the historic Max Factor Salon on Highland Avenue. If you look closely at the structure, you can appreciate the work of American architect Simeon Charles Lee, who designed the salon. I have found that the building's old-school glamour fits the cinematic treasures inside perfectly, making the walk through the halls feel like a trip back to the golden age of the screen. It is a great spot to see how the magic of the movies was actually made.

You might expect a glitzy studio lot, but this is a film museum. Located on Highland Ave. in Hollywood, California, the Hollywood Heritage Museum focuses on the preservation of movie history. It is a place where you can find a heritage centre and a movie theater all in one spot. I've noticed that people often call it the Hollywood Studio Museum as well.

It was founded in 1985 and remains a key stop for anyone wanting to understand the actual heritage of the area rather than just the modern fame.

Hollywood Bowl

This isn't your typical indoor concert hall. The Hollywood Bowl is an amphitheatre and public park located in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, California. I can show you around this sylvan theater, which first began in 1922. When you look at the architecture, you can pick out the Neues Bauen style. It is a landmark that people travel from all over to visit, and it has a presence that feels distinct from the rest of the city. I've noticed the air feels a bit different up here in the hills compared to the streets below. Since it is a public park, you can enjoy the surrounding greenery while you are visiting the venue. It is a special part of the local geography that offers a break from the usual urban sprawl of Los Angeles.

In the heart of Hollywood, Los Angeles, you will find Temple Israel of Hollywood. This synagogue is a Reform Jewish congregation that has been part of the local community since it was founded in 1926. While the congregation is currently led by Senior Rabbi Mari Chernow, the site has a long history of movement through the neighborhood. The group first held services in the Hayakawa Mansion before establishing a building on Ivar Street under the leadership of Rabbi Isadore Isaacson. The congregation eventually moved to its current location on Hollywood Boulevard in 1948. It remains a significant place of worship and a focal point for its members within the city of Los Angeles, California, in the United States.
