"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.
Unique Los Angeles hotels. 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. |
