Few people ever wander more than a couple streets away from Hollywood boulevard. To the locals here, those places sometimes away from the "main drag" are what we refer to as "Off Hollywood". In this slide show essay, we start out at the great library with its marble pillars, columns, chandeliers, sculptures, frescoes, and art... Then we move west and north, to the Greek Theater, then, South a bit, to Barnsdall Park, which is a historical reserve, preserving the Barnsdall Mansion, which sits atop a hill. That mansion was designed by the great Frank Lloyd Wright, and is a national treasure, not just a treasure to the locals here. The Barnsdall park complex also houses a major museum, and many classrooms and work shops dedicated to teaching the arts to anyone who cares to attend a class there. Onward from there, a bit west, and a bit north, to the Hollywood Bowl, and then, downward, south, to end up at the Kodak Theater plaza to watch a few kids playing in a fountain. less
