LA. Los Angeles. City of Angels. LaLa Land.El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora Reina de los Angeles sobre el Rio Porciuncula. That was the original name of Los Angeles when the city was founded in 1781. Somehow, it's not suprising that this now sprawling city started off with such a big name! If Los Angeles were its own country, its economy would be bigger than Saudi Arabia, Switzerland and Sweden! There are 80 neighborhoods in LA. The downtown alone is divided into 16 districts! One of the more famous neighborhoods, Beverly Hills, is known for its posh stores, the TV show 'Beverly Hills 90210' and the movie Pretty Woman. But before all of that, it was a ranch for little green lima beans. Every city has to start somewhere! DTLA (Downtown Los Angeles) has so many things to do + see. We've listed a few of our favorites below, but know there is an endless amount of adventure to be had! Just remember, in the City of Angels, people are outnumbered by cars - you may be sitting in a bit of traffic! |
