And, I&#8217;m more than happy to share the love and feature some of the mad and crazy events happening along the Boulevard. I&#8217;ve only been in Hollywood for 24-hours and have already figured out all the back alley routes that take you away from the toutes, tourists, and screaming teens. There&#8217;s no need to worry about back alley safety&#8230; all the locals take the same routes and because of this the alley&#8217;s are really well lit. I think that walking on the Boulevard is actually more dangerous!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nThere are a lot of things that suck about doing an air&hellip;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wend.ca\/?p=61851\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;Destination Hollywood&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":66240,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[235,408,34],"tags":[468],"class_list":["post-61851","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-california","category-los-angeles","category-us","tag-life-on-the-road","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61851","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=61851"}],"version-history":[{"count":26,"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61851\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":91371,"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61851\/revisions\/91371"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/66240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=61851"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=61851"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=61851"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
