And of course there were places that I visited, like the Hollywood Sign after walking up the trail in Griffith Park. But this was something to see and thank you so much for the "tour". I'll let my daughters know and take them to some of these places when next I visit Los Angeles.

Grand Central Market has been around not just decades, but a FULL CENTURY. Cliftons has been around not just over 50 years but almost 90. On the other hand, Our Lady of the Angels is not THAT old. 2002. However it replaced St. Vibiana's which had been thw Catholic Arch Diosese headquarters since the late 1800s.

      @Paul D I have on both coasts and in between. LA puts most major U.S. cities to shame. LA just has a lot more of everything from museums (of every type and scope) to concerts to other cultural amenities, etc. As I type this LA metro now has the 3rd/4th most extensive public rail transport by mileage in the U.S. when LA Metro and Metrolink are added.
      For a city its size it truly is world class rivaling NYC in economic and cultural importance and leaving the rest behind (LA has the world's 3rd largest metro GDP after Tokyo and NYC).

    • @dannhymir9678
      @dannhymir9678 4 роки тому

      @Paul D Great exodus? There's a very insignificant net loss (its also adding people as others leave)--its not seeing the same loss of people however that you are seeing from San Francisco and NYC currently post-Covid19.
      LA is one of the major cities that's remained stable. Like SF and NYC, LA metro has the most expensive real estate in the U.S. (in fact on average more expensive than NYC metro), and that has more to do with people leaving (a victim of its own success unlike say Detroit or Chicago with falling real estate prices as people leave) to neighboring Nevada, Arizona, and to Texas where real estate is much much cheaper (and this has been happening for decades even under Republican leadership just because of how much more expensive it is in CA; its not a recent trend). However as mentioned, unlike SF and NYC its not losing as many people (and in fact is gaining more residents with a masters degree or higher). Having visited NYC (and Boston, DC, etc.) and having long had family in SF I can see why this is happening. However, the situation in LA is not the same (there are still bidding wars on houses and real estate prices are stable or even still rising unlike in these other cities).

      Griffith used to be a good place until parking and traffic became a nightmare. The Getty Center is far better in my opinion, it opens late on Saturdays and the view is awesome.

    I would also recommend Vista Hermosa Natural Park and Elysian park.. They are not too far apart from each other in Down Town LA and are great places to relax, lie on the grass after a tiring walk around, under the shade of trees, view the skyscrapers, complete with restrooms and drinking water. Vista park is about a 2km walk from Grand Central Market and you can check out the Broad and Walt Disney Concert Hall between them.
