But some of that is going to change. A new landmark, the Hollywood and Highland development, is scheduled to open November 8, and the developer, TrizecHahn, is hoping that it will become one of the "must see" attractions in the area.
The $615 million development features an impressive lineup of major retailers, restaurants, and a collection of luxury stores, as well as a six-screen multiplex cinema and a hotel. The crown jewel in the development is the Kodak Theatre, which will host the annual Academy Awards(r) ceremonies beginning next year.
