Hollywood
Hollywood was a part of the city of Los Angeles known for its connection to the movie and entertainment industries of the 20th and 21st centuries. The "Hollywood" sign was among the Earth cultural items the Threshold stole and moved to the town of Wormwood on the Moon. The moon was later destroyed; the sign likely was also. (COMIC: Wormwood)
