Hollywood sign FOR SALE!

[Technologic]

The sign is not for sale.. just the area to the west of it...

[Metric.]

It is perhaps the most instantly recognisable piece of land on Earth - yet the mountainside that provides the backdrop to the Hollywood sign could be yours for only $22 million.

But still, homes could block the view.

[kk.]

no its the whole mountainside isnt it? therefor, you own the sign in a way. it wouldnt bet that expensive

[dirrty]

whoever buys it, i hope they leave it and dont do anything to it, cuz its a hollywood landmark. i wouldnt be surprised if a rich celeb attempted to buy it though.

I'm guessing someone from China will buy it.

I didn't know this..

The Hollywood sign was never intended to be a permanent landmark. It was constructed as a temporary billboard in 1923 to promote a housing development called Hollywoodland, which is what the sign originally read - each letter lit up by 4,000 light bulbs.

Interesting!

I'll buy it to go with my hxf name thanks.

Mmmm the things I could do with/to/near that sign

[kk.]

lol, change it to bollywood

[Firehorse]

Wouldn't like to think what would happen to it if a company like O2 or virgin media took over it. If o2 bought it then they'd paint bubbles all over it, if virgin media took over they'd feature it in every one of their adverts and if T-mobile bought it they'd paint it pink. I think it'l get bought by one of those holiday companies

You aren't buying the sign, you are buying the land in front of it.
