Probably doesn't need repair. It was falling apart when they fixed it the last time. The original was only an advertisment for a subdivision, the celebs & others contributed for a more permanent structure.
"For the Government, a front-bench spokesman said the Agricultural Tariff would have to be raised, and he fancied a bit. Futhermore, he argued, this would give a large boost to farmers, him, his friends, and Miss Moist of Knightsbridge."
Turns out "Hollyweed" did happen in 1976, but the sign has been altered a number of times beside that.
Pretty cool, I had forgotten about who donated to fix the sign when it was deteriorated. Alice Cooper donated the cash for one of the O's - in honor of his good friend Groucho Marx.
And of course, Hugh Hefner donated the money for the "Y".
I think someone did change the sign (beside the original "Hollywoodland") for some other purpose beside this one. My memory is that it was some sort of protest, but I'll have to check.
Bears losing as usual, but just pulled a sweet decepetion play for a TD. RB Langford goes out to the right as a WR. QB Barkley in the backfield motions him back behind him like he misunderstood the call in the huddle. Barkley then moves up to the line and moves to the right behind the line, gesturing like he's changing the play. As he does that, the direct snap goes to Langford. WR Meredith swings from the left to behind Langford as if it's a WR end around. Meanwhile, Barkley has gotten behind the defense in the endzone to the right. Meredith (a former ISU QB) throws to Barkley for a TD.
Knowing corpthink as I do, I would guess one of the questions asked was, "How much revenue are we generating off the boards?" and when the reply was given, either the follow up was, "How much could we make?" and/or "Why do we even have it then? Kill it".
I'm going to stay here and see if they figure it out...
