Look, everyone's gonna tell you to avoid the Walk of Fame and then give you some 'hack' to make it better. Here's the thing - there is no hack. It's dirty, crowded, and depressing.

The stars are just names in dirty concrete. The costumed characters smell bad and hassle you for tips. The 'museums' are tourist traps charging $20 to see wax figures.

Want to see where movies are made? Take a studio tour in Burbank. Want celebrity culture? Go to Beverly Hills. Want entertainment history? Hit the Academy Museum. But Hollywood Boulevard? Just drive past it and keep going.
