76. 24 Hours After

Normally, your CaliforniVacation: SoCal gal, Lori Bjork, is a gal of many words.

She wrote blog post no. 72 about Hollywood Boulevard being closed between Highland Avenue and Orange Avenue the week before the 2010 Academy Awards ceremony.  So, she thought it would be interesting to see just how much was packed up and gone by 24 hours after the award ceremony started.

One surprise was the stop lights were removed, literally, and were being put back into place (as you will note in the video).

These images tell at least a thousand words.

What a difference a day can make!

A quick P.S. and F.Y.I.  Lori arrived at Hollywood and Highland about 4:15 pm and was enthralled with the unkempt look of the curtains still hanging and flowing in the breeze at the Kodak Theatre only to note it had been removed by the time she returned from dinner at Mel's to film at 5:30 pm.  That's why she decided to include the curtain in the video below.
