The City of Angels has plenty of star quality and welcomes visitors to share the spotlight.
Touching down at LAX in the darkening night sky is almost like an extra-terrestrial event. Lights fan out in all directions, grid-like white luminescence against red streams, pulsing, beckoning as the land pulls westward toward the ocean.
Los Angeles, at times described as a great big freeway, is, oh, so much more. Look beyond the tail lights of the traffic buzzing from the beaches to the boutiques and bistros and find the spotlights that have made the city shine since the beginning of the last century.
Los Angeles has always been the city of dreams – and dreamers, beginning with the likes of D.W. Griffith, C.B. DeMille and the brothers Warner shooting on primitive backlots in the Hollywood hills. Since then it has been all about the silver screen and the careers made and shattered upon it in earthshaking celebrity rumbles that to this day continue to shape the city.
Los Angeles was built on far more than movies, it’s true. But for travelers who land in LA for a day or a week or longer, living like a celebrity is part and parcel of the fantasy. Visitors can have their time in the spotlight as well, luxuriating in phenomenal hotel suites like no place else on the planet, and taking in restaurants, attractions and shopping ventures that positively ooze the celebrity lifestyle.
