Area Attractions Welcome to the city of Los Angeles, where dreams are made! Los Angeles started out as a small farming town in an area inhabited by friendly Native American Indians. Under the orders of King Carlos III of Spain, a "pueblo" was founded in 1781 as ’El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de Los Angeles de Porciuncula’ or the Town of Our Lady Queen of the Angels of Porciuncula. Since then it’s been City of Angels, Tinsel Town, Lala Land or simply - LA. Whatever sort of vacation or entertainment you are looking for, you will find it in Los Angeles - Hollywood glamour, romantic beaches, theme parks, high art, pop culture, tacky souvenirs, rock and roll, Rodeo Drive designer stores, Pacific sunsets, and gourmet food. One thing about Angelenos, they want to be constantly entertained! LOS ANGELES FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT DESTINATIONS Hollywood Historical home of the stars and movie premieres in the golden age of film and television that includes the famed Sunset Boulevard. Hollywood Boulevard isn’t paved with gold; in fact, it’s a bit seedy, with a multitude of tacky souvenir shops that sell celebrity photos, maps with the stars homes, sweatshirts and t-shirts. Hollywood is where the movie business got started and where stars planted their hands into wet cement. The Walk of Fame adds new names every month or so and Mann’s Chinese Theater is still one of the places chosen for Hollywood movie releases. The new showplace - the Kodak Theater is where the annual Academy Awards are held, where the golden Oscars are presented to celebrities in a lavish production each year. The Kodak Theater is situated at new Hollywood and Highland Entertainment Complex. Beverly Hills This is a northern outpost of posh with palm-lined streets and fancy mansions. The best way to see the neighborhood is to take a bus tour. Guides will point out what celebrity lives where. Visit Rodeo Drive for world famous designer shops. Beaches Santa Monica Beach with its boardwalk and pier, is the best beach to visit. Right next to the Third Street Promenade, where you can browse, dine, and shop. Further north on Pacific Coast Highway, exclusive Malibu is the preserve of the rich who build their fancy homes right on the beach. Neighboring Venice is known for offbeat artistic characters, roller bladders, sidewalk artists and shopping bargains Griffith Park Just north of Los Angeles, Griffith Park is a huge city park that is home to the famed Griffith Observatory.
