Sunset Boulevard is probably the best known
commercial auto
strip associated with the movie
industry.
It has often been featured
in TV shows and movies. Name some of the important communities through
which it runs?
Answer: Bel Air, Beverly Hills, Hollywood -- in Hollywood there is a
unique place: check it

The heavily subsidized tourist redevelopment of
Hollywood reflects the public expectations as a filmic center. This created
image and cityscape contrasts with the adjacent decaying area. "Hollywood has
become a theme park feeding on its own culture industry" (Source: Leon
Zonn reviewing Cinema and the City: Film and Urban Societies in a Global
Context, Annals, vol. 93, no. 1, March 2003, p. 244).
The status and fame of this part of Los Angeles has spread to Seoul, South Korea, where the nouveaux riches indulge themselves buying luxury foreign brands at exorbitant prices along Rodeo Drive, a deliberate copy of its namesake from Beverly Hills!
