tsar4 Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsar4 Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 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". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAC Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Wonder who will fix it this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsar4 Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEXobiologist Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Wonder who will fix it this time. do they really need to fix much anyways though. it looks like they just shifted over the one chunk. so i mean, just put it back right? i dunno, never been close enough to see the actual construction of it.

Yeah neither have I. Did they replace the whole letter or cut it and make it into the "E"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsar4 Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 My guess is that they either painted or put something on the Os to change them to an "e". Hopefully whoever did it didn't damage the structure for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAC Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Yeah I just seen a better pic of it on FB and it looks like they put a white sheet or something across the O's and a black one to make it look like an E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
