Notes To The Granddaughters

Last summer we walked up to the Hollywood sign -- or at least as close as we could get. Here's the backstory as reported by The Hollywood Reporter:

Residents of L.A.'s Beachwood Canyon are fighting off hordes of GPS-enabled tourists — thousands a day — who block their driveways, sometimes piss in public and, they say, pose a major fire risk as they make their pilgrimage to the city's most popular and unregulated landmark.

Actually, it's pretty regulated; you can't get all that close. The photos at the link show how close one can actually get. 

I'm glad we went there last summer. It's only a hunch, but I think the neighborhood could solve this problem fairly quickly if the city would be just a little bit helpful.
