Photographer's caption reads, ""Where's Hollywood?" tourists ask. "You're looking at it," I respond. Hollywood Boulevard in the old heart of Hollywood - the Boulevard to locals - is largely block after block of trinket shops and T-shirt emporiums, interspersed with pizza outlets and tattoo parlors. I can take you to at least nine self-identified "Hollywood Tourist Centers" between La Brea and Vine. They're all bogus."
