Hollywood (/ˈhɒliwʊd/ HOL-ee-wuud) is a neighborhood in the central region of Los Angeles, California. The neighborhood is notable for its place as the home of the U.S. film industry, including several of its historic studios. Its name has come to be a metonym for the motion picture industry of the United States. Hollywood is also a highly ethnically diverse, densely populated, economically diverse neighborhood and retail business district.
Hollywood was a small community in 1870 and was incorporated as a municipality in 1903. It officially merged with the city of Los Angeles in 1910, and soon thereafter a prominent film industry began to emerge, eventually becoming the most recognizable film industry in the world.
In 1853, one adobe hut stood in Nopalera (Nopal field), named for the Mexican Nopal cactus indigenous to the area. By 1870, an agricultural community flourished. The area was known as the Cahuenga Valley, after the pass in the Santa Monica Mountains immediately to the north.

As it turns out, Georgie is the one who witnesses a gruesome murder committed by gang member Marcos. Marcos, the younger brother of gang leader Crow, is the culprit of killing an innocent woman in the alley so Ardmore and Webster pressure Georgie to come up with the name of the murderer or face a jail term himself. In order to save his own ass, Georgie snitches on Marcos who then gets arrested for the homicide. When Crow gets wind that Georgie may have been the one who snitched on his brother, Georgie shifts the blame to Kapone. This sets off a long and brutal day for Kapone who will find himself running for his life while constantly getting shot at from his own people. Shot caller Crow is furious at Kapone for having him "drop a dime" on his little brother so he puts a "green light" on Kapone with a group of young baby-faced killers. Hood prospects Sick, Fresco and Blind are given the mission to whack Kapone no matter what it takes. The trio wants to move up the gang's ladder so they are intent on blowing away Kapone before the day's end. This makes it a "no-where-to hide" situation for Kapone. As a result of the 12 action packed hours, almost a dozen people are killed in the worst day for gang-related homicides in the history of East L.A.
