Hollywood

Bio
Hollywood is a small community dating back to 1870 that was merged with the city of Los Angeles in 1910. After the development of a prominent film industry in Los Angeles, it began to become synonymous with the home of the entertainment industry and eventually the name of the motion picture industry of the United States. Known for some of the most expensive homes in the area (outside Beverly Hills) and a culturally-rich ethnic population, it is also Ginger's hometown, although she mostly mentions it when she's referring to the movie industry itself.
