Frank Sinatra's Star

Excerpt From Angels Flight

     In the long run, Frank Sinatra got ripped off. Decades ago, when the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce put his star down on the sidewalk, they put it on Vine Street rather than on Hollywood Boulevard.  The thinking probably was that the Sinatra star would be a draw, people would come down from the Boulevard to see it, to take a picture.  But if that was the plan, it didn't work. Frank was alone in a spot that probably saw more hypes than tourists. His star was at a crosswalk between two parking lots and next to a residence hotel where you had to convince the security guard to unlock the lobby door if you wanted to go in.
