You know it’s a clear day in Los Angeles when you can stand on the patio of your beau faux chateau and see the Hollywoodland sign. Mind you, that day would have to be some time between 1923 when the sign went up, and 1949 when the letters spelling “land” were taken down. But that would have been before the smog became serious so your chances of being able to see the sign weren’t too bad.
