The Hollywood sign is noted on
MapOfTheStrange.
Originally designed to last for 18 months, the sign deteriorated over time. The sign is now an internationally recognized symbol of American cinema. A 1949 renovation gave it new life, but a second restoration in 1978 provided a whole new sign designed to last many years.
