Happy 50th Birthday, Hollywood Walk of Fame

Signage

Sunday was the 50th anniversary of the legendary Hollywood Walk of Fame.   A number of events were planned to celebrate, but honestly, if I hadn't known about this before I went out and about Sunday, I wouldn't have known anything out of the ordinary was going on.  Seriously, unless it's all about celebrities, this town can't throw a party to save its life.  Los Angeles even flopped with Y2K celebrations.

This guy outside Ripley's Believe It Or Not on Hollywood Boulevard startled a Korean tourist by chatting her up in her own language:

A Mariachi Band performed on top of the marquee of the Ricardo Montalban Theater on Vine Street:

Still, it was another beautiful day to walk The Walk in Hollywood:

The new Trader Joe's is awesome, BTW.
