Reorganize docs into category folders and drop the retired head-review page
Group the top-level docs into docs/project, docs/design, docs/assets and docs/process, each with its own README index. Delete the superseded docs/screens/head-review page and sheets. Rewrite every markdown link, absolute docs path and tool/test reference to the new locations, fix the pre-existing broken anchors and remove the dead Joke Shop photo-board link. check_docs OK, Python tooling 167/167.

# Venues
|
||||
|
||||
The game uses two physical Hollywood blocks across three playable venue rows:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Hollywood Boulevard** — the 6840 Hollywood Blvd / El Capitan Entertainment
|
||||
Centre block, in day and night rows.
|
||||
- **The Joke Shop** — a fictional comedy club based on the Sunset Strip block
|
||||
around 8433 Sunset Blvd.
|
||||
- **Late Night TV Studio** — the same El Capitan block restaged as a studio
|
||||
arrival.
|
||||
|
||||
The runtime implementation contract (facade specs, map budgets, navigation,
|
||||
colliders, phase behavior and fallback) lives in
|
||||
[`architecture.md`](../project/architecture.md#venue-implementation-contract). This page
|
||||
keeps the real-site evidence, mapping decisions and deliberate simplifications.
|
||||
|
||||
## Hollywood Boulevard
|
||||
|
||||
### Real site
|
||||
|
||||
- **Address:** 6840 Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA 90028.
|
||||
- **Coordinates:** 34.10118 N, 118.34009 W; OpenStreetMap way `424024147`.
|
||||
- **Building:** the 1921 Hollywood Masonic Temple by John C. Austin, now the El
|
||||
Capitan Entertainment Centre and the home of *Jimmy Kimmel Live!*. It is the
|
||||
game's starting point for both the Hollywood shift and the TV Studio arrival.
|
||||
- **Facade:** light stone/render Neoclassical front, six oversized Ionic
|
||||
columns, a recessed entrance up eight stone steps, ornamental door grilles,
|
||||
a crosscut transom, two side entrances, and the Masonic parapet motto and
|
||||
medallions.
|
||||
- **Neighbours:** the El Capitan Theatre immediately west, a modern retail block
|
||||
east, and the Ovation Hollywood frontage across the four-lane boulevard.
|
||||
- **Sidewalk:** the Walk of Fame terrazzo strip with brass stars; red-painted
|
||||
kerb in the reference photographs.
|
||||
|
||||
### Game mapping
|
||||
|
||||
| Real feature | In-game representation |
|
||||
| --- | --- |
|
||||
| 29.6 m wide, 14.5 m high facade | `VENUE_SPECS["hollywood_building"]`, front at `z = -4` |
|
||||
| Eight stone steps | 8 steps, 0.10 m rise, 0.38 m tread, 12 m wide |
|
||||
| Six Ionic columns | `IonicColonnade`, 4.96 m bay spacing |
|
||||
| Central + two side doors | 4.2 m central door, 2.5 m side doors with transoms |
|
||||
| Red event banners | three stylized `EL / CAPITAN / LIVE` banners |
|
||||
| Masonic motto + medallions | `FriezeInscription` and two stone discs |
|
||||
| El Capitan Theatre / east retail | library-neighbour blocks with marquee/blade or glazed shopfront |
|
||||
| Ovation Hollywood | arcade with seven arched openings, sign and south sidewalk |
|
||||
| Walk of Fame | dark terrazzo band with ten stars |
|
||||
| Four-lane boulevard | double-yellow centre, broken white lanes, red kerb, crosswalk |
|
||||
| TV Studio arrival | same six-column facade/eight steps plus bulb canopy, sedan, handrail and barriers |
|
||||
|
||||
The generated references in
|
||||
[`screens/concepts/hollywood_boulevard/`](../screens/concepts/hollywood_boulevard/README.md)
|
||||
are art direction for lighting, material scale and composition; they are not
|
||||
texture or geometry sources.
|
||||
|
||||
### Late Night TV Studio
|
||||
|
||||
The third venue is **not a separate real site**. It reuses the El Capitan block
|
||||
and restages it as a studio arrival: the same stone facade and steps, plus a
|
||||
bulb-lit canopy, glossy black car, barrier/stanchion line and audience queue.
|
||||
`VENUE_SPECS["tv_studio"]` is a 30.0 m variant of the Hollywood spec with the
|
||||
arrival staging; it shares this block's reference board.
|
||||
|
||||
## The Joke Shop
|
||||
|
||||
### Real site
|
||||
|
||||
| Item | Reference |
|
||||
| --- | --- |
|
||||
| Address | 8433 Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90069 |
|
||||
| Real venue | The Comedy Store (comedy club and theatre) |
|
||||
| OpenStreetMap | Way [`428854155`](https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/428854155), centroid 34.095265, -118.373965 |
|
||||
| Tags | `amenity=theatre`, `building=commercial`, `height=12.2`, `start_date=1940`, `wikidata=Q3520350` |
|
||||
| Footprint | OSM polygon about 47.1 m × 41.2 m across the club and rear parcels |
|
||||
| Street | Sunset Boulevard on the Sunset Strip |
|
||||
| Setting | Dry Hollywood Hills with houses and palms above the roofline |
|
||||
|
||||
The building began as **Ciro's** (1940) and became The Comedy Store in the
|
||||
early 1970s. Its street front is a low black hall under a deep,
|
||||
signature-covered canopy, with a circular blade sign above the roof, red
|
||||
curtains along the frontage and the main entrance set toward the west end.
|
||||
|
||||
### Game mapping
|
||||
|
||||
| Real element | Game implementation |
|
||||
| --- | --- |
|
||||
| Low black comedy hall | 27 m × 12 m footprint, 6.0 m street wall, matte black concrete, low plinth and parapet |
|
||||
| Deep overhanging canopy | 4.9 m sloped slab at 11°, white signature fascia band and club name |
|
||||
| Signature-covered front | two `Label3D` signature bands plus a wall panel |
|
||||
| Circular blade sign | 3.9 m white disc on a roof pole, black `THE JOKE SHOP` wordmark |
|
||||
| Red curtains | seven tied-back velvet drapes with scalloped hems and dark recesses |
|
||||
| West-end entrance | recessed at x = -8.8 m, low step, brass pulls, door-lock indicator |
|
||||
| Practicals | sconces, canopy downlights, entrance wash, ground uplights; off by day, switched at night |
|
||||
| Neighbours | cream Mediterranean block with red awning; `WestHotelTower` mass behind; white commercial block east |
|
||||
| Hillside | fog-free unshaded ramp with stucco houses, shrubs and palms; dark silhouette at night |
|
||||
| Opposite Sunset | low retail row, rooftop billboard, neon and palms beyond the far kerb |
|
||||
| Street dressing | palms, barriers, stanchions, bins, planters, A-frame, hydrant and parked sedan |
|
||||
|
||||
Key proportions are reconciled in the map budget and `VENUE_SPECS`; the full
|
||||
measured table is retained in the 3D review history. The playable frontage is
|
||||
27 m, the facade centre is at z = -8.0 and the front face at z = -2.0. The
|
||||
sidewalk is 38 m × 14 m, meeting the kerb at z = 11.9; the street is 90 m × 24 m.
|
||||
The guard starts west of the entrance at (-4.8, 0.1, 1.4), facing the approach.
|
||||
|
||||
## Deliberate simplifications
|
||||
|
||||
- Both blocks are stylized reconstructions, not survey models; show branding is
|
||||
replaced by venue-neutral/fictional text while addresses and landmark
|
||||
silhouettes are retained.
|
||||
- Interiors, basements, side streets, the Metro entrance and the Comedy Store's
|
||||
rear rooms are out of playable bounds.
|
||||
- The Ovation frontage is one arcade block, not the full mall plan; neighbouring
|
||||
businesses are generic low-rise masses and no current tenant is claimed.
|
||||
- The Joke Shop's rounded west corner is kept as a hard 90° corner; its hillside
|
||||
is a background ramp with simplified houses, not a terrain heightfield.
|
||||
- Geometry uses boxes, cylinders and a small set of custom arch/star meshes to
|
||||
stay inside the Compatibility/Web budget; concept frames are photoreal and the
|
||||
runtime keeps a stylized material treatment.
|
||||
- Day/night is a phase offset on one geometry/scenario, not a second baked map.
|
||||
The night row starts in `LATE` while the checkpoint stores the offset.

```bash

The map-budget tests and the venue light-falloff gate are part of the headless
|

suite; the screenshot/realism gates are optional review evidence.
