A DIFFERENT HOLLYWOOD SIGN

2011 Replica of the Schwab's Drugstore sign on Vine and Selma in Hollywood.
The original Schwab's Drugstore was a part of Hollywood folklore since the 1930s. Located on Sunset Blvd at the start of the famous Sunset Strip, the site was featured famously in the films television, and the stuff of movie star discovery legend. It closed in 1988.

CRUISING ON SUNSET BLVD

Located at 6671 Sunset Blvd and extending north to Selma, the Disney-esque outdoor shopping mall, Crossroads of the World, is an collection of buildings (retail stores and studios) recreating the architecture of various parts of the world, all surrounding the center structure/building, which resembles an ocean liner.
In May of 2015, plans were announced for an extensive redevelopment of Crossroads and the surrounding area.

BANANA FANA FO FANA

Minions love bananas. And it looks like Hollywood's famed Cinerama Dome theater on Sunset Boulevard is under siege by three of these oversized underlings (looks like Stuart, Kevin & Bob) staring in rapt desire at the object of their affections: a ginormous banana. The minons of the "Despicable Me" animated films are now the stars of their own movie, and the Cinerama Dome has been turned banana-yellow in honor of the occasion.

AND THERE YOU ARE, A SHOOTING STAR

Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) frontman, producer, songwriter, and all-around music legend Jeff Lynne was awarded his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on April 23, 2015. 

Located in front of the Capitol Records building on Vine St., the star was kissed by the muse Kira (aka, Terpsichore) from the 1980 film "Xanadu" (for which Lynne composed many of the songs, including the hit title track) who put in a welcome, if self-promoting appearance.
