This page

This page has become involved in the content disputes that are in progress at Runaway production, and Hollywood North. I'm not sure how to handle this, and I'm not willing to tie up a page by perpetuating an edit war. If anyone has any suggestions, please contribute. Thanks. --Ckatz^chat _spy 22:46, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One thing's for sure: citations should never be put on disambiguation pages. It just looks bizarre. Carson 06:25, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've made a huge cleanup to this page. Possibly sufficient to remove the cleanup tag? --Quiddity 20:30, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hollywood District

Hollywood was incorporated as a municipality in 1903. Among the town ordinances was one prohibiting the sale of liquor except by pharmacists and one outlawing the driving of cattle through the streets in herds of more than two hundred. In 1904, a new trolley car track running from Los Angeles to Hollywood up Prospect Avenue was opened. The system was called "the Hollywood Boulevard." It cut travel time to and from Los Angeles drastically.

By 1910, because of an ongoing struggle to secure an adequate water supply, the townsmen voted for Hollywood to be annexed into the City of Los Angeles, as the water system of the growing city had opened the Los Angeles Aqueduct and was piping water down from the Owens River in the Owens Valley. Another reason for the vote was that Hollywood could have access to drainage through Los Angeles´ sewer system.

With annexation, the name of Prospect Avenue was changed to Hollywood Boulevard and all the street numbers in the new district changed. For example, 100 Prospect Avenue, at Vermont Avenue, became 6400 Hollywood Boulevard; and 100 Cahuenga Boulevard, at Hollywood Boulevard, changed to 1700 Cahuenga Boulevard.

The Hollywood District (originally Hollyrood, after the Scottish Holyrood) is a neighborhood of NE Portland, Oregon renamed for its historic 1920s era Hollywood Theatre.

I do, hereby, demand some reason, purpose, justification, logic, why this title should be assigned to some whatever in Oregon.

I can justify why it should not be:

It is not the oldest.
It is not the most well known.
