A sure sign that this formerly seedy section of the city is on the fast track to recovery is the massive $615 million "entertainment complex" at the corner of Hollywood Blvd. and Highland St. (hence the name). Surrounded by souvenir shops and tattoo parlors, the gleaming 8 3/4-acre center contains all the top-end merchants -- Ann Taylor, Tommy Hilfiger, Louis Vuitton, bebe -- as well as studio broadcast facilities and the gorgeous new Kodak Theatre, home of the Academy Awards (really, you'll want to take a peek at this theater). The mall's other centerpiece is Babylon Court; designed after a set from the 1916 film Intolerance, the open-air space attempts to re-create an over-the-top golden age movie set complete with giant pillars topped with 13,500-pound elephants and a colossal arch that frames the Hollywood sign in the distance. Parking isn't a problem, as the six-level underground lot can cram in 3,000 cars.
