My brother in law runs a Hollywood studio.
Ahh, the home of the U.S. film industry! Hollywood is such a great city! There are so many neat historic studios!
Hollywood
Yes, Hollywood! It's hard to believe it was a small community in 1870 and wasn't incorporated into a municipality until 1903!
I visit him every year and get to take a tour of the studio. It is really a good time.
Do you know how H.J. Whitley, the Father of Hollywood, came up with a name for the city?
That is a long time ago. I did not know that he was the Father of Hollywood.
Yep! He came across a Chinese man with a wagon hauling wood. He asked what the man was doing and he replied, "I holly-wood," meaning hauling wood! But the name stuck and the rest is history!
That is a cool story, what else do you know about Hollywood?
Well, after it consolidated with Los Angeles in 1910, the film industry soon emerged. The city has been a powerhouse in the film industry ever since!
