Move over Hollywood! You’ve got nothing on Winnipeg’s ‘Garbage Hill’
WINNIPEG — Los Angeles has its famous “Hollywood” sign but Winnipeg can now boast of having its own smaller version — only this one adorns the side of a former landfill and reads “Garbage Hill.”
The permanent sign measuring one metre in height by six metres in length was unveiled by the city at Westview Park in west-central Winnipeg.
It replaces another “Garbage Hill” sign that was made, in part, from an old garage door and set up in September by a prankster whose motive appeared to be to reflect the nickname Winnipeggers had given the location over the years.
The prank caused an online stir and prompted several people to visit the site to take a selfie before the sign was removed.
