Article Body:
LOS ANGELES a metropolis, which spans across a thousand square 
miles of the great desert basin, mixed together with congested 
freeways that run between the ocean and the mountains. 

LA is still considered a young city.  In the mid-nineteenth century, it 
was a community of white American immigrants, poor Chinese 
laborers, and wealthy Mexican ranchers, with a population of less 
than fifty thousand.  Definitely, a difference from what it is now.  LA 
is known for it shopping malls, palm trees, and swimming pools.  
The celluloid self-image of Los Angeles is known all over the world. 

The first-time visitor to Los Angeles may well find it to be thrilling 
and threatening in equal proportions.  It is a very fast-paced city 
and it will pick you up and sweep you along whether you want it to 
or not.  While Los Angeles has many fine-art museums, California 
cuisine and a few old-fashioned urban plazas, what people really 
come here for is to experience the city that has come to epitomize 
the American Dream.  This is where teens come to try to become 
actors and stars.

Boardwalk, Watt's Towers, Melrose Avenue, Rodeo Drive, Walt
