Los Angeles

By:smgenie


LOS ANGELES a metropolis, which spans across a thousand square

miles of the great desert basin, mixed together with congested

freeways that run between the ocean and the mountains.



LA is still considered a young city. In the mid-nineteenth century, it

was a community of white American immigrants, poor Chinese

laborers, and wealthy Mexican ranchers, with a population of less

than fifty thousand. Definitely, a difference from what it is now. LA

is known for it shopping malls, palm trees, and swimming pools.

The celluloid self-image of Los Angeles is known all over the world.



The first-time visitor to Los Angeles may well find it to be thrilling

and threatening in equal proportions. It is a very fast-paced city

and it will pick you up and sweep you along whether you want it to

or not. While Los Angeles has many fine-art museums, California

cuisine and a few old-fashioned urban plazas, what people really

come here for is to experience the city that has come to epitomize

the American Dream. This is where teens come to try to become

actors and stars.



Recommendation for first time visitors is to visit places such as

Universal Studios, Mann's Chinese Theatre, Venice Beach

Boardwalk, Watt's Towers, Melrose Avenue, Rodeo Drive, Walt

Disney Concert Hall, and let us not forget about the amusement

parks such as Knott's Berry Farm, Magic Mountain, and Disneyland.



With all the entertainment available in Los Angeles, you are sure

to see a Celebrity or two while you are out and about. There are

many things to do in LA, how about just hanging out at the beach

and relaxing or surfing in the Pacific Ocean. Many things are within

driving distance from LA as well.



Check with your local travel agency for excellent packages to the

Los Angeles area.
