Hollywood Apocalypse: The rich and famous are fleeing in droves as liberal politics and coronavirus have turned the City of Dreams into a cesspit plagued by junkies and violent criminals
2020-08-16
[MAIL] Gold's Gym has become synonymous with the Hollywood Dream.

Set just a few hundred yards from the ocean in sun-kissed Venice Beach, Los Angeles, Gold's was the backdrop for Pumping Iron, the 1977 documentary which followed a young, unknown Austrian bodybuilder called Arnold Schwarzenegger as he prepared for the Mr Universe contest.

The film turned him into an overnight sensation. He would go on to become a global superstar, marry a member of the Kennedy clan, and become Governor of California.

Yet today Gold's sits amid post-apocalyptic scenes which have consumed much of LA, turning the City of Dreams into an urban nightmare from which people are fleeing in droves.

#4  Hopefully they'll just move to another lefty pesthole, instead of despoiling virgin territory.

#2  Huh..remember the title but never saw it. My guess is that is shows the internal rot that was held under the covers for decades based on the preview.

Glad I live near beautiful Boise, ID. Flyover country and hope it stays that way.
