Hollywood’s Literary Oasis Will Be Missed
- Share via
However creepy Hollywood Boulevard became over the past so many tawdry years, it offered one sure cultural oasis in Book City (“Closing the Book on a Landmark,” Dec. 10).
How sad to learn that this wonderful literary depot is being forced out of the neighborhood by the very redevelopers whose motive, I thought, is to return a semblance of legitimacy to the street and replace all the last vestiges of riffraff with a higher quality of civic life.
I fear another mindless CityWalk. Give me culture with sleaze over no culture at all.
