Review of Hollywood, Florida


The City of Broken Dreams...
Star Rating - 6/2/2019
Sigh...Hollywood, Florida.

The city where dreams are broken. Hence the name of the 'mean street' Hollywood Boulevard of Broken Dreams. I say 'broken dreams' not just because of the Green Day song, but because living down here is NOT easy. And it's HARDLY the paradise other fans (I.E. snowbirds) claim it is. I began pursuing a career in writing while I was down here, starting in my early to mid-20's. But because people are essentially stupid, crazy, selfish 'cattle', my writing career ended up getting set back by roughly 5 years. I have virtually NO FRIENDS down here, save for one young woman whom I now hardly ever see. Oh, and my Mom of course. There are trees down here, but virtually NO mountains or actual forests to speak of. The only place worse than this would have to be Philadelphia, PA. More on this place lata...Bye!

Hollywood has many nice features for visitors, but not much for residents. This is a town of transients. As soon as you get to know someone, they are gone. I've been here 4 years and don't even know my neighbors, as new ones are there every few months. There are efforts to promote culture and if you do a google search, you will find writers groups (I also am a writer). Try to focus on what is good about the place: the climate, the beaches and parks, the architecture, in Hollywood, the walkway by the beach with free concerts at the bandshell.
