For decades, Hollywood Boulevard was a major disappointment.   A  run-down area populated by a virtual freak-show of young runaways, homeless transients and tourists wandering the dirty sidewalks while trying to find some hint of former glamour left on the famous boulevard.  Hollywood Boulevard is now a different place than the one I saw 10/15 years ago.  The Chinese theatre has been restored back to its original beauty, it is also now home to the Kodak Theatre a mega Entertainment center.  Even the stars lining the streets shine and overall it is now a good place to visit.
