This is part of the décor of a large shopping center in the middle of Hollywood. And that is where you will find the view of the famous Hollywood sign and the casting couch.

I am the only one that tried it out. Actually it is made of cement and not comfortable at all.

These lighted columns are connected to the Kodak Theatre and they list the Oscar winning movie and the year it got the Oscar. SONY DSC

Gruman’s Chinese Theatre. This is where you will find the shoe and hand prints. It is amazing how small the hands and feet look of the stars from the 40’s and 50’s compared to what they look like now.

The historic El Capitan Theatre.

We had a very quick snack here and there wasn’t any time to really look around. Would like to come back to this Farmers Market and spend the day. They have built a large shopping center beside this market with exclusive shops and there is a trolley that runs the full length of it.

So back to Union Station and our train ride home.

It was a great day with good friends.
