Hollywood sign-adjacent hill to be saved


Hugh Hefner helped put up the last chunk of money in the Trust for Public Land's campaign to buy and preserve acreage west of the Hollywood sign. Gov. Schwarzenegger attended a presser this morning. Councilman Tom LaBonge will talk up the effort this evening on "Which Way, L.A.?" on KCRW.

Add WWLA: Host Warren Olney also talks to Father Gregory Boyle of Homeboy Industries. Olney interviewed him at the Festival of Books over the weekend.
