Visit Los Angeles - Los Angeles, the city of Angels, is an incredibly
diverse space that defies a single definition, but when you consider
it spans over a thousand square miles that's not particularly
surprising.
This sheer sense of scale is the thing that will hit you as you
clear the mountains and receive your first glimpse of LA - this is
America at its most exuberantly big. The city fills a vast basin
between the high land and the ocean, and stretches north and south
as far as the eye can see, and that's from the air. Once you're on
the ground you might as well forget about getting your bearings. Los
Angeles is a dizzying maze of high rise buildings, wide boulevards
and freeways - all pulsating with humanity.
The entire city is like one of its movie sets made real - from the
skyscrapers of downtown to the green hills of Hollywood. And it is
populated by people living movie lives - from the spectacularly
well-heeled to the immensely downtrodden.
Head for Santa Monica or Melrose and you'll find everyone has a
pitch or a line to throw you. They're an actor, singer,
screenwriter, or director with a movie that "Spielberg is looking at
right now". The amazing thing is that everyone you talk to in this
way actually believes it, and after a while you do too. It's
infectious. If New York is the gateway to the American Dream then
Los Angeles is the inner sanctum of the TV nation. NY can catapult
you to high office, or put you at the helm of a multi-national
corporation; Los Angeles appeals to the base heart, it can make you
famous.
And that is the key to this kaleidoscopic city. There is no fun here
in having wealth, talent or looks unless everybody knows about it.
That is why everyone has their patter, that's why the boardwalk at
Venice is permanently teeming with performance artists and that's
why people drive with the top down, even on the freeway. The people
of Los Angeles don't need the neon of Vegas to light up the city;
they are their own brightest stars. This is what makes it the most
vibrant and changeable place on earth, a modern wheel of fortune
with 14 million people knowing that their number will be the next
one up.
But, as well as the home of opportunity, this is the city of lost
ambition. You will see the contrasting fortunes as you move through
the city, LA has a consumer culture like nowhere else and the
beautiful people and the cash always move on. Even this has its own
allure, adding a frisson of danger and instigating an endless spirit
of dynamism and devil-may-care that never leaves you no matter how
long you stay.
