| | If you've ever been around Hollywood or even visited Hollywood you would have noticed the fact that it doesn't exactly live up to its glitzy perceived reputation. Or at least the people I've talked to when they visit it for the first time are disappointed at how, ummm... dirty, it is. I watch bus loads of tourists arriving to Hollywood, streams of Japanese, European, or even Midwest tourists stream out on to the streets. They walk up and down the "walk of fame" stars reading off hundreds of names (many of which they've never heard of) and glancing around at the fact that Hollywood is made up of mostly crappy little stores you wouldn't want to buy anything from. Then they notice the bums and homeless people wandering the streets. They become increasingly reluctant to let their small children run ahead of them, instead keeping them within arms reach as they pass by these creature-like humans who have become degraded beyond recognition. Literally, walking Bundles of dirty and stained rags stumbling sown the street like a monster out of an old low budget horror movie.
How did these people get this way. People who were once small cute little babies, like you or me, that grew up and somewhere along the way something happened. And this is what they've become. I've been told that these are people who have been let out of psychiatric hospitals when their insurance money ran dry. Just let out on the streets, addicted and nowhere to go. Eating out the trash, unable to bath, and this is what you're witnessing as you walk the streets of Hollywood looking for the next tourist attraction.
