La Vida L.A.: Hollywood Forever’s Baaaack

Written by . Filed under Blog, Entertainment. Tagged , , , . No comments.
Last summer, I discovered one of the best things about living in Los Angeles: watching movies in a graveyard. And not just any graveyard—it’s the Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Santa Monica Boulevard.
