Hollywood Entertainment Magazine
An entertainment guide
for Hollywood, California
For nearly three decades, Entertainment Magazine has provided an entertainmemnt guide to national music and film.
EMOL.org (Entertainment Magazine On Line) has been online for almost ten years with an entertainment guide. Hollywood Entertainment Magazine covers the Hollywood, CA area.
Hollywood, California is a district within Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.. Hollywood is situated west-northeast of Downtown LA.
With its fame and cultural identity as the historical center of movie studios and stars, the word "Hollywood" is often used as in conjunction with the American film and television industry.
Today, much of the movie industry has dispersed into surrounding areas such as Burbank and the Westside, but significant ancillary industries (such as editing, effects, props, post-production, and lighting companies) remain in Hollywood.

The Boundaries of Hollywood
Many historic Hollywood theaters are used as venues and concert stages to premiere major theatrical releases, and host the Academy Awards. It is a popular destination for nightlife and tourism, and home to the Walk of Fame.
Although it is not the typical practice of the City of Los Angeles to establish specific boundaries for districts or neighborhoods, Hollywood is a recent exception. On February 16, 2005, Assembly Members Goldberg and Koretz introduced a bill to require the State to keep specific records on Hollywood as though it were independent. For this to be done, the boundaries were defined by the California Legislature (AB 588).
This bill was unanimously supported by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and the LA City Council. Assembly Bill 588 was approved by the Governor on August 28, 2006, and now the district of Hollywood has official borders. (from wikiepdia.org)
