A journey down Hollywood Boulevard


I don't understand why parents think that Hollywood Boulevard is a family friendly place. It's dirty, run down, and not very safe. Skateboarders constantly zoom by, nearly knocking everyone over and never apologizing. Homeless people lay all up and down the sidewalks, and ask for money. The walk of fame is in shambles - the stars faded, defaced, and crumbling. THEN there are all the x-rated manequins with huge breasts in the storefront windows. But every day I see the strollers, and the little kids eating ice cream, and the tourists. I dare say Hollywood may be eroticizing little kids who visit. I suppose I am not outraged over it, but why anyone would bring their child to Hollywood Boulevard is beyond me. I give the city credit because the entire area is under renovation and construction, and in a few years it will be a very clean and nice place to be. There is always hope for the future.
