Wednesday, December 2, 2009 – Working Hollywood

People still come to Hollywood to become famous, even if it seldom works that way. Everyone has dreams. At the corner Yucca and Wilcox, someone is working on one –




	There's an empty balcony next door if you have a friend with a video camera and want to give it a go –


	It's the historic Mayfair, at 1760 Wilcox – "Built in 1925 and designed by architect William Allen, the four-story residential apartment exemplifies the Romanesque/Renaissance Revival style and is a distinguished example of an early multi-family building in the Hollywood area, with its neon "Mayfair" sign atop the property. The Classical Revival style gives the Mayfair a sophistication that contrasts with the period's ubiquitous two-story bungalows." It's a hoot.



	But the other local buildings are less friendly –


	And sometimes Hollywood just wants to drop a hot steaming load on your head –


	And Hollywood is a nasty place –
