a group known as trust from public lands is planning on buying %uh eight bridge around
the hollywood sign right because it turns out
at add there are certain companies are planning on building condominiums and property
around the hollywood sign
now this story is very important to me okay because now what %uh trust for public land
plans on doing is they need to raise twelve million dollars in order to purchased the
one hundred thirty-eight equal acre parcel
that's known is cooling apart or queen of peak
anyway the religious importance because if they do purchase that land they're going to
basically handed over to parks and recreation it's going to be part of the griffith park
not property and i think that's going to be awesome an immigration what that's because
you are power walk through it
yes montevideo com important over not
i had
in that area all the time and the thought of them building condo is that just it's satins
my heart
it's at least one departure heard they do
another surfer petrolia differences but i would be your before the wedding highway few
filling out
there's always right
how did you know
but doctor alright so here's is lavish said
i've always loved it that way and if you know l_a_ at all here on or if you see in nineteen
eighty six he thought it was time
and there's nothing around you know
why don't they till that evening there also my paul douglas seems crazy 'cause all the
valleys in the peaks in the elves at houses all over but there was the design and all
its right
and they're leaving this huge realestate their totally
that you know with blue undeveloped which is shocking in america let alone in los angeles
right
and there's great irony here because
the hollywood sign reads and i know if you don't have a string of obsessed by it
it was originally hollywood lam
and a lot of people know that but it was to advertise that area
for realistic
i don't have a its original purpose was cut by the slant ok that ironically because the
sign became so iconic
they didn't allow anybody to buy that latin okay now
it's a little more comic ignite this hollywood land it involved land that wasn't directly
around that signs of course on the bid
did develop a setter and %uh
it wasn't just the so they didn't allow it was like this they didn't allow that led you
develop because they didn't know that they still don't know if this thing works it's
very degraded over the state to become a park right
%uh blake
%uh it was howard hughes
who have held it for decades i didn't do anything with it you know these the reclusive crazy
billionaire
and so it turns out i got protective almost by accident i don't know if howard hughes
intended at origins forgot about a lot of
he was said in a state
so then the other agency violeta hollywood sign is
it eight
it's got destroyed many times
in nineteen twenty eight some guy got drunk
drove off that clip which are quite amazing red into that age
and not the issue
broadway swear to god also cooled by physical
and thought that this repair many ttenzing ever-present forty five seventy eight
that is another interesting fact about this and you know in nineteen seventy eight the
people who made a hollywood sign look like it is today and rescued and there's several
stages of this but
the main guy was
alice cooper
the rock star alice cooper was like yeah i would guess mathematical
than it was sort of
celebrate really let's say that
they go obsessed with it any collect all sorts of money
the guy who pay for the white everybody pay for a different matter by different organizations
then
and %uh and stars that the wire was paid by q happen
got no no we can't build condos around it no now having guidant now in two thousand
two
at company that smart wind up buying it from howard hughes the statement
we build a couple of homes here that would be worth
and approximately a dozen dot gazillion dollars app at the x_-rated smart smart business
now this newstrust come in and saying we think there is twelve million dollars where to go
through this and then headed over the state i'd love those guys isle of unskilled
but there's a problem arcade game only raised six million dollars
they have until eight parole to raise at the other six million if they don't raise it it's
done it's over mcginnis he buildings around hollywood sign
the yeah i know and i heard you had a major power walk out of character everyone it's
not just the power lock okay
first of all and worry that they're gonna build something that's going to and
ruin the view right because if it's in the hollywood side from office and it's also my
mother died when anything to ruin that and it is back on again it's something that i
don't want to
taint
and i feel like but you know building buildings around that is going to take it easy military
with this because well i hope that i totally agree with your lives
%uh vipul things called prosper publicly and the president will rise trust for publicly
in yeah i don't know if you want to help yeah gotta laugh listen it
that look at my personal interest in it is forget the office very behind its that he
could hardly see the site
but for my home
because according to the hollywood house c and so i had a great interest in a few but
seriously for everybody it's like on tickets america's part of americana i mean it's like
saying we're gonna sell here we report billboards all over the eiffel tower
yes you had a our bill the complex right next to that can
is that they're within their rights
but i'd love that this is cap was a work in the right way or somebody goes well pay the
money for
and so if they do is of the six million everybody wins
prosper publicly
there you go we're doing our part
highlight one washington in company
donated one million dollars to this
so you know that he introduced me to do by myself to do it into the new so of course
your %uh what a producer dominica super fast at
let me see if i can really quickly find deficits bothered about this is really cool stuff i
love this
%uh that age was given by ken starr only publisher of the hollywood independent newspaper
%uh of agreement existed
always edgy avani mas i did alley and movie producer
els less calories a day of kelly blue book you know l_ jean autrey
%uh de beers anyway it was a singer
always warner brothers
that the other rose alice cooper and
in memory of groucho marx
