While you view the sign from just about anywhere, if you desire the best visitor experience, you will need to scale Mt. Lee in the Santa Monica Mountains at elevations around 1,708 feet.
The Hollywood Sign dates back to 1923, at a time when the population was at its lowest point. The sign with 4,000 bright lights was specifically designed to attract newcomers. Today, the lights no longer function, but the sign is just as effective today as it was at the time of installation.
The Hollywood Sign holds many secrets from special visitors to special events, all of which have never been publicized.
Venice Canals A Replica Of Italy’s Venice
In 1905, Abbot Kinney decided it was time to bring a piece of Italy To California. The Venice Canals – Carrol, Linnie, Sherman, And Howland – were erected across 4 blocks extending east to west. Two other canals – Eastern and Grand – extended north to south. It did not take long before the millionaire’s Venice Canals become a popular tourist destination, receiving hundreds of visitors each year.
Kinney took his Venice Canals to the left level by adding two Italian-made gondolas to the mix.
In 1982, the landmark was entered in the National Register of Historic Places. The same year, officials named the canals a “Los Angeles historic-cultural monument.”
