Where it states 1949 - The Hollywoodland Sign, originally built to last only 18 months, is in total disrepair (and all the light bulbs have long-since been stolen). The City begins removing it but is halted by a public outcry � the citizens have come to love the symbol. Instead, the sign is refurbished and shortened to "Hollywood."
