Hollywood Sign
Wait, so the iconic Hollywood sign wasn’t originally a symbol of the movie industry? Mind blown. It makes sense since Los Angeles has always been a city of real estate developers and high-end housing. It’s funny to think that something that’s now such a huge part of our pop culture was just an advertisement.
And for housing development, no less! I wonder if Harry Chandler ever imagined that his little sign would become such an important part of American history. Probably not, but I’m sure he was happy with how it all turned out. It’s one of the most iconic symbols in the entire world!
