Was anyone else incredibly disappointed with the Hollywood boardwalk when you first came? I didn't even know 99% of the folks there

Tourists assume Hollywood is where you should go and I always tell them you will be severely disappointed and irked by LA if that’s your first stop. They don’t listen 🤷‍♀️

Yeah which is why locals know not to go there. It’s grimey, cringey, and a waste of time. You can get tacos and see way better museums elsewhere in the city.

they’re always right

Lol I won’t even take people there anymore when they visit/stay with me. One time I had a friend who was really insistent so I drove down Hollywood with her and she immediately asked if my doors were locked 😂

Agreed. Unless you are seeing an IMAX movie at the TCL Chinese theater (which is pretty cool) I would avoid the walk of fame. It’s a dirty tourist trap.

Would never recommend visiting the Hollywood strip. Especially during it’s most recent state after the pandemic. The whole area feels really run down right now, it’s sad!

The entire city is suffering from post-pandemic stresses as a whole. It’s not so much tourists but it seems like Hollywood has just got more and more neglected as an area since the pandemic. It could be lack of proper funding to keep the area safe and clean. I’m not too sure why specifically but the city as a whole isn’t in a great state.

Those stars are pay to play. If you got the cash and a very minimum amount of fame you can get one.

My cousins warned me when I first moved to LA and man were they right! So grungy out there. However, it’s way better when you go on a bright and sunnier day, otherwise it’s mad depressing.

Do you like the curriculum? Why or why not? Would you be willing to share what you do weekly/daily? Thanks!
