Apparently it’s to save the land around the sign. Would not want to create some beautiful houses and provide much needed work to some pions would we now?

I’ve hiked up to the sign. It’s not a pretty sign, from far away or close up, but if some people are sentimental about it, they can pay for it.
To: Michael.SF.
You’d have to take it up with the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. Back in 1949, the chamber contracted with the Los Angeles Parks Department to repair and rebuild the sign, and the deal included a stipulation that L-A-N-D be removed to reflect Hollywood proper and not the former Hollywoodland housing development.
In due course, among the sign restorers was, of all people, Alice Cooper-—who paid to have one of the two O’s restored, dedicating it to the memory of Groucho Marx.

Its not a pretty sign, from far away or close up Sometimes the icon doesn't have to be pretty. La Tour Eiffel is really not much to look at either.

Well Tom Hanks has donated. If Tom Hanks says it’s good, it MUST be good. He’s from Hollywood and knows what’s best for us little people.

Well, I was going to make a witty post with Hollywood translated to Spanish, unfortunately, guess what Hollywood is in Spanish?
Evidently it is still Hollywood.

Pooped?! This is how you refer to my having entered this earthly atmosphere??
I was not born in the bushes behind the sign, but in a Hospital with a good view of it. Not that I remember that.

I heard that George W. Bush, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, and Clarence Thomas intend to buy those four mansions and tear down the sign.
(Just float the rumor and watch the $3 million appear overnight.)

Same here but they recently closed the road that leads to the sign as far back as November last year. I was trying to show my university fraternity mates about the time someone jumped off the letter L, I think.
If you drive up Gower to Sunset, you have a perfect vision of it....also, you’ll see Obama’s Socialist-Joker posters on the right side as well ROFL!
