Cons: so much to do you may never get to do it all
Summary: The City of Los Angeles has so much to offer but when most people think of LA they think of Hollywood, hell when most people think of California they think of Hollywood. That is because this place is like a huge adult playground. There is so much to see ... read more

Pros: A Superb Experience
Cons: Expensive
Summary: My visit to Hollywood was not without its disappointments. Yes, some of it is dirty, loud, filthy. Yes, it's trashy. Yes, the Hollywood Walk of Fame isn't very well kept up. But, some star-glamour does shine out from inside the filth and garbage. ... read more

Pros: It's glitzy.
Cons: It gave me a headache.
Summary: I stopped by Los Angeles on a road trip to San Luis Obispo, California a couple of years ago. And, of course, I went through Hollywood.
You know, sometimes tourist attractions aren't as scary as people make them out to be. Not only was ... read more

Pros: A lot of historical value for those interested in the enteratainment business
Cons: Dirty and a little scary
Summary: Hollywood is a difficult place to describe. It has such a blend, and such a contrast of cultures and people. I guess it seems so magical and exciting on television or in reading about it, and yet it has all the same problems as any other place. ... read more

Pros: The historical landmarks
Cons: The everyday life
Summary: ~An Empty Heart~
When you hear the term Rodeo Drive, most people think movie stars, glamour, and Hollywood. I too, thought of these things when hearing of Rodeo Drive and that's only natural. Movies can be very powerful. When you see a place ... read more

Pros: Historic sights, surrounding cities
Cons: Filthy streets
Summary: I spent a summer in the L.A. area and of course this meant a trip to Hollywood. As a big movie buff I couldn't resist.
However, it was a disappointment. The streets are filthy and in almost every area prostitution and public drug usage run ... read more

Pros: bright lights, big city, close to many entertaining features
Cons: high priced, dirty, rude people... etc.
Summary: Hollywood holds some of the best, and some of the worst features of any suburb I have ever seen.
If you have a great deal of money, you can visit The Wax Museum, Ripley's Believe It Or Not, and Geniuss Book of World Records. Hollywood also ... read more

Pros: Plenty to see, do, eat, and drink
Cons: Keep your wits about no; just say no to Scientology
Summary: Reading the three member opinions submitted up to this point about my adopted neighborhood, Hollywood, has compelled me to come to its defense. First off, by definition, Hollywood is a nebulous concept: it's merely a neighborhood of the cosmopolitan ... read more

Pros: It is after all "Hollywood"
Cons: Read the review...
Summary: I have to admit, as much as I love Hollywood, it's a dump. It really is -- but at the same time, there's something so vibrant, so alive about it -- that one can't help but love it. It's like a tragic love affair, played out on a grand scale. One walk ... read more

Pros: A mythic place...
Cons: that's also a slum.
Summary: First, the disillusionment: there are no stars in Hollywood, except the concrete ones that line Hollywood Boulevard. You're not going to see Brad Pitt casually taking a stroll with Jennifer. Those days are as dead as Cary Grant. With the exception of ... read more

Pros: none
Cons: hollywood
Summary: I, like most people I think, had Hollywood confused with Beverly Hills in my imagination. I thought that my vacation there was going to be something out of Hollywood Wives. I expected glitz, glamor and high fashion. I got a city like any other city.
