Description
Hollywood and Vine, the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street in Hollywood, a district of Los Angeles, is a well-known landmark and became famous in the 1920s for its concentration of radio and movie-related businesses. The first "high-rise" building at Hollywood and Vine was the 12-story Taft Building, built in 1923 on the southeast corner on the site of the old Memorial Church. In 1958, the intersection became the central point of the newly installed Hollywood Walk of Fame. Today, not many production facilities are located in the immediate area. One of the few remaining is the Capitol Records Tower to the north of the intersection. An art deco piece of Los Angeles history. This iconic former Hollywood Bank building was creatively crafted into stunning lofts in 2008 with spectacular view of the famous Capitol Records building. The roof top deck offers views of Hollywood Blvd and the Hollywood Hills. Just steps away from the W Hotel, Katsuya, the Pantages Theatre and many other popular destinations. In urban folklore, many of the local buildings are considered to be part of "Haunted Hollywood", home to the ghosts of celebrities of Hollywood's legendary past. The intersection has been mentioned or alluded to in dozens of songs, films, video games, music videos and other popular media, often as a symbol of Hollywood's lure as a destination for dreamers, or for its decadence and disappointments.
