READ THIS ARTICLE...it's EXACTLY what you're saying:
http://www.seeing-stars.com/live/BeverlyHills.shtml
And I (as well as other Los Angelenos) agree completely.
Hollywood is skid row, run-down, nothing what any tourist expects!
If the link doesn't work, here's what it says:
Tourists arriving in Southern California often confuse Hollywood with Beverly Hills.
Many visitors come to Hollywood expecting to find a gleaming city filled with movie stars, posh restaurants, grand mansions and expensive shopping areas. They are, of course, very disappointed; the actual suburb of Hollywood is far from glamorous. The real "Hollywood" is a state of mind, not a place; it's not so much a city as it is shorthand for the general movie and entertainment industry.
But if that fabled, glittering Hollywood of the tourist's imagination exists anywhere, it exists in Beverly Hills. It is in Beverly Hills, not Hollywood, where many stars actually live, dine and shop.
Only a few minutes drive southwest of downtown Hollywood, the City of Beverly Hills offers all of the glamour and opulence that anyone could reasonably hope for...
And to the above poster who said that Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears, etc, live in Hollywood....NOT!
When Jessica was still married to Nick Lachey, they lived in Calabasas. Britney Spears lived in Malibu. SAFE and CLEAN areas of Los Angeles.

Ive been there and i think people maybe come with high expectations and thats why they get sadly disapointed. Its just Hollywood not as big a deal as most people make it out to be but its not all bad if you come to see celebrities walking down every street and really fancy places its not like that its just a normal place random stores,stars on the floor, w/e.

Never been there and honestly never going. With the likes of Paris, Lyndsay, Britney, Jess and all those other media sucking leeches who would want to hang out in such a meaningless superficial town.
