Save The Peak...!

SAVE THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN.

For those of you who live in LA (and those of you who don’t) you may have noticed a new message that the famous ‘HOLLYWOOD’ sign landmark has been sporting recently. It currently reads ‘SAVE PEAK’ from a distance or ‘SAVE the PEAK’ at a more up close view. This is part of a campaign that was started by Save Cahuenga Peak in hopes of raising enough money to save the land the sign sits on, as public space rather than having it bought by realtors and turning it into LA's "hottest" new neighborhood. The campaign needs to raise 12.5 million dollars in order to protect the land by adding it to the famous Griffith Park and maintaining it’s historic beauty.

There is always going to be a group of people that are “in it for the money”…it’s quite sad that this happens more often than not. That’s why the public must take the reigns and do what they can to save a piece of history. Who wants to gaze up at that magnificent landmark -- the landmark people from far and wide come to see – and instead see a bunch of over sized homes clouding the sign’s statement (and reminder)… YOU ARE IN HOLLYWOOD. The place where dreams come true (oh, wait… isn’t that Disney World?!) The bottom line is, we’ve got to SAVE PEAK!!!!! Please spread the word, follow them on Twitter, visit their site, and most important of all, donate what you can! Roughly about $4.5 million to go by April 14, 2010.

Thanks everyone :) Hope your week is going well.
