One Mile Radius Project in Hollywood Part III

It's been awhile since I've done one of these blogs. Actually, it's been awhile since I've gone on one of these walks. The walks had previously occurred on a weekday late afternoon, which makes it difficult for me to attend. Due to the winter hours, the walks have shifted to Sunday afternoons.

The below map isn't the greatest, but the walk was around the borders of Hollywood and Fountain (north/south) and Wilton and Saint Andrews (west/east). Fountain is the last west/east street at the bottom of the map. Saint Andrews is the north/south street on the left.



The below photo shows that this area is just east of the revised Vine area of Hollywood.



On Wilton, I believe this is the Grant Elementary School.



The main focus was the Fountain Community Garden, which is on Fountain and Saint Andrews.





Some paintings. Our guide said these were put up to try and prevent graffiti.







By the community garden, this apartment complex. Who would want to live in an apartment that narrow? Actually, why would someone build an apartment that narrow. It did look like an apartment. I half suspect it used to be an office building.



Some places to eat on Sunset.



The main business in this section that we walked, Home Depot.
