Wednesday, October 15, 2008 – Dream Boulevard Oh, you know the story. It's in the movies. The dewy-eyed kid from Nebraska runs away to Hollywood – the long bus ride across the long miles of what seems like nothing to the land of dreams, where the kid knows he or she will be discovered, and of course become a movie star, or these days, at least a celebrity of some sort. These things always end badly. Let's start at the bus station, just north of Hollywood Boulevard. |

Even the lunch counters out here seem strange – |

And there's this, at the shop that sells belly-dancing gear – |

|
The streets of Hollywood are just strange – |
