A History of the Hollywood Sign

Article and slideshow on Hollywood's iconic sign:  fascinating.  Who knew that we have Alice Cooper and Hugh Hefner to thank for the sign as it stands today?

My favorite photo in the slideshow depicts the early housing development in the Hollywood Hills.  I now have a renewed interest in planning an off-the-beaten-path trip to L.A.  Such a trip would include adventures on the L.A. subway (hardly used but still running), a Raymond Chandler bus tour, tracking down crumbling Hollywood mansions, and any other historical forays I can think of.
