Runyon Canyon hikers Bob Eicholz and Steve Scott a few years ago discovered the remnants of a large sign in the brush above their Outpost Estates neighborhood. Turns out it was from the development's original 1920s real estate sign, which spelled "Outpost" in big red neon letters and towered over Hollywood, nearly as famous as that other sign. Cecilia Rasmussen gets hold of the story in Sunday's LAT. This photo is of the 1853 Tómas Urquidez adobe believed to be the first house in that part of Hollywood, on the property north and west of Franklin and Sycamore.
