After the disappointment in Santa Monica and Chicago we were looking forward to finding wall that was intact. On a trip to LA for a wedding, we got there a few hours early which gave us an opportunity to run up to Hollywood. Life Size Blue Whales turned out to be much easier to find. It is on a the wall of a building, on the outside of the Paramount complex. The complex is bordered by two busy streets, Melrose Avenue and Santa Monica Boulevard, but the wall is painted on a building on Gower Street and is probably seen by many fewer people because of it. I’m surprised by the location.
