I am not surprised that it was saved. It's an icon.

 

[LuciaDisturbed]

YAY! I didn't want the sign removed as it is an icon. I want to someday go to California on a vacation and see the Hollywood sign!

eh I'm not surprised. I knew somebody would pick up the tab. It's same old classic tactic to get somebody to pay for it... sentimentalism reason.
