Hollywood sign


In the 1970s, the sign reached its most dilapidated state

By the 1970s, the first O had splintered and broken, resembling a lowercase u, and the third O had fallen down completely, leaving the severely dilapidated sign reading "HuLLYWO D."

it's nice to see opening shots of historic and world known sign -
in ruins. this scenec are now part of history.

earlier this year i learned that america plunged into crime and self destruction after JFK assasination - in particular new york became crime infested corrupted town, very dangerous in 70s and early 90s-

now i know, the west coast had its own shame.

How can an upper-case O, even in disrepair, morph into a lower-case u?

apperantly - it appears it had "splintered and broken"

there are pics proving this amazing destruction
i think someone also crashed with truck into the sign itself

It was great to see the shots of the sign but it has nothing to do with shame. I don’t know where that thought even comes into this discussion.🤷🏽
