La Vida de Caridad: Hollywood Observations

Saturday night. Hollywood Boulevard crawls with tourists and locals.
Cameras flash at Madame Tussauds – faux celebrities are almost the real thing, right?
Pass by Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, compare your footprints with them – celebrities who walked on the air of fame past and present. How do your hands compare against theirs? How do your feet? If they match, is your joy because you are almost like them or that you see that they are more like us – who exist on the fringe of red carpets and lit ceremony?

My friend Julius shared this article on Facebook: “The Secret of L.A.’s 10-Year-Old Fake Freeway Sign”. It tells the story of an artist that decided to take matters into his own hands and directly inform people of the 5 North – he found all the specs to make a sign and went up there and did so. In addition to being a must-read article, it’s also a great message. If something is wrong, make an effort to fix it.
