View submission: What is the most overrated vacation destination?

Hollywood, walk of fame. No glitz and glamour like people think, it’s a shithole.

Too funny! Hollywood Bl has never been glamorous, we all got a big laugh when they added glittery stuff to the walk of fame sidewalk. 🙄Locals tend to avoid it, in high school we might catch the bus on it or go for a slice or movie, but that’s about it. When my son goes to a movie or restaurant there, I go through a speech telling him where to park, pay attention and be careful! I grew up there and love it for that reason, my son grew up in Pasadena, a whole different world.

Hollywood Blvd is so bad it made me think I didn't like LA. When I went back and visited LA but skipped the touristy stuff I realized it's an absolutely amazing city (urban sprawl, whatever you want to call it) but Hollywood Blvd legit is sad and people should not go.

LA native. Idk why anyone visits that tourist trap. My friends and I avoid Hollywood like the plague.
