  • Why is there a huge glowing cross on a hill in Hollywood? Tom wondered the same thing. Turns out it's connected to early Hollywood and two outdoor theatres-one you've heard of and one you probably haven't.

    Excellent Tom. I too have driven by that cross since I was a very young boy and wondered the story behind it.

    Hey Tom, as a suggestion, you should check out Turnbull canyon. Workman museum or the SGV. The greater Los Angeles area doesn't have a lot of info. After it was a orchard and parts like chino were just barren land

    Right by that cross is where we first found out about P-22 through a trail camera study looking at mammal animal crossing the bridge right there.

    Wow, I am an L.A. native and I was totally off with the White Cross. I thought it was part of Forest Lawn because of my "immaculate sense of direction" and a thoughtless guess from my parents.

    Loved the video but I was left with one quick question, maybe it's silly, but seeing as they sold off the enigmatic cross who has maintained it since 1964?

    Dude, your videos are so rad! I really enjoy how you narrate and present the whole thing. I also appreciate the level of production from all the guys who help to make these episodes. There's so much white noise on this platform, and your channel is seriously one of my favourite things to watch on UA-cam.
    Peace!

    You should do highland bowl and Frank's camera in highland park. Also if you need an extra camera man

    Just wanted to say that I found your channel at the perfect time. I'm British but fell in love with Los Angeles a few years back and have been visiting as often as I can ever since. I'm currently trying to decide what to do here on my Sunday afternoon and your videos are providing me with some great inspiration! I have some (much more amateur!) videos on my channel from LA and further afield if you'd like to check out the city from an outsider's perspective! :-)

    I live in Orange County and every time I went to the Valley, I drove through that area during the day, I didn't even know there was a cross up there. Awesome writing!

    Hollywood was founded as an attempt to copy my family’s Colegrove development that predated it and was much more popular (and fun). It is now East Hollywood.

    Hey Tom, I just wanted to say that I love the videos. You have inspired me to do the same in my city. I hope you continue to make them as they have helped me fall in love with your city even more and I sit in another country. I would love to see you talk about the different movie houses around LA. Such beautiful architecture. Be well and hope to see you soon.
