People who trash Hollywood always reference Hollywood boulevard, but it's really Sunset that's becoming the center/heart of the neighborhood.
It will defintely be a different place before the Olympics.

Not only Sunset, but Selma and its neighboring blocks too. That street is unrecognizable (for the better) with Thompson Hotel (with Bar Lis and the upcoming Mes Amis), Mama Shelter Hotel (with its rooftop), Mother Wolf, Dream Hotel (with Tao, Beauty & Essex, Highlight Room Rooftop), Tommie Hotel (with Ka'teen and Desert Five Spot Rooftop Bar), Grandmaster Recorders (restaurant + rooftop bar) with many of those opening just in the last year.
That gives Hollywood three legit boulevards (Sunset, Selma and Hollywood) all with connecting blocks that can continue to get better.
