The Third Life of the Hollywood Sign

Clip: Season 8 Episode 5 | 8m 5s

The Hollywood Sign now might as well be a billboard for the Third L.A.

The Hollywood Sign, which in First L.A. advertised a real estate subdivision, Hollywoodland, and in Second L.A. a globalized film business, now might as well be a billboard for the Third L.A. Residents and tourists make a kind of pilgrimage to the sign in search of a proper place to take a selfie and tag themselves as having been there.
