A giant Tyrannosaurus rex sculpture bursts through the rooftop and brickwork of the Ripley's Believe It or Not! Hollywood attraction at the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue. Ripley's moved into the historic building in 1992 and added the roaring, roof-smashing T. rex in 1993. It has since become a fixture of the Hollywood Blvd streetscape alongside Grauman's Chinese Theatre and the El Capitan, and is seasonally costumed by Ripley's for holidays (Pride, Halloween, Christmas).
