Like Posing For A Selfie With A Cardboard Cutout Of A Celebrity

One of the solutions being bandied about for the tourist-generated traffic and related problems in the neighborhood around the Hollywood sign: another Hollywood sign. No, really, they're thinking that putting a second Hollywood sign on the other side of the mountain will relieve the pressure on the residential neighborhoods below the real sign. Is that a reasonable solution? Because it would not be THE sign, so I'm not sure too many people would choose to go there. By the way, maybe I'm jaded because I've lived here too long, but the original sign is, you know, just a sign. It's not magic. You see it from the 101 freeway, from surface streets, from all over (even from our hill 30 miles south, you can make out a little white streak on that hill -- it's pretty obvious). And the thrill wears off in, like, seconds. Maybe spreading THAT news around will keep tourists from swamping the neighborhood. (KNBC-TV/Los Angeles)
