I worked with a man who disliked doing things on a temporary basis because more often than not the temporary has a tendency to become permanent.

Well, I guess this is certainly true for the big HOLLYWOOD sign. Just heard on the news it was put up for 18 months 100 years.

I suppose it has lasted longer than a fow things meant to be permanent. Now the sign has become somewhat iconic. I wonder if anyone knows how many movies the sign has been in. Moreover, I suspect it has been photographed by thousands. Who would have thunk?
