When you visit
Los Angeles, you’ll discover that much of the vibrant life here seems
to thrive somewhere between reality and dream. This alluring place is
where trends are born. Convertibles. Short skirts. Health food. In-line
skates. Even the Internet. Since its beginning, LA has lived on the cusp
of a trend, always re-inventing itself – from Mexican outpost to
agricultural Mecca to boomtown movie colony to high-tech aerospace hub
to the new economy. LA reaches new horizons every day.
Los Angeles first coined the word “tourist.” Because most of
us arrived here as strangers, LA makes up the richest ethnic mix in the
country. Cultures from around the world rub elbows and join hands in
fusions of language, fashion and food. Have you tried a Thai taco? We
have them. This cultural celebration also means we have more stage
theaters (80+) and museums (300) than any U.S. city. With metropolitan
LA at more than twice the size of Switzerland, you can be sure there’s
plenty to explore. Browse through this section to discover the seven
unique regions of Los Angeles.
