As the city of Los Angeles, located in California enjoys a warm climate and beautiful all year round, it attracts many visitors. Obviously, among these, many are hoping the curious cross a star in downtown LA.
With the tourism industry that is naturally of temporary quarters, including the rental of villas, the LA vacations are a dream for more and more people. Of course, nothing is surprising if prices are high, because everyone is playing its little place in this great city. However, some apartments may be found in the longer term, it said at a reasonably affordable price (and more!). LA is also distinguished by features such as Walt Disney Concert Hall, completed in 2003, recalling strongly the Vitra Design Museum in Germany, near Basel, the same architect (Frank Gehry).
Most of all, Los Angeles is known for the film industry and people fly from all over the world in order to visit the birthplace of the movie masterpieces that have delighted generations of film lovers. The years 1920, 1930 and 1940 represent a kind of golden age for Hollywood cinema.
Immediately after the First World War, the first major movie company was founded, paramount Pictures, directed by Adolph Zukor. The work and the organization of production are subject to the rules of profitability to be called very soon the dream factories, the “dream factories”. Hollywood then employed nearly 28 000 people, including 170 directors and 350 writers that provided 500 to 700 scripts a year.
Soon the market will find shared between five major “dream factories” that dominate the world of cinema. The MGM (Metro Goldwyn Mayer) collects the stars, faithful to its motto “More stars than there are in heaven.” Greta Garbo, Clark Gable, Marion Davies, Joan Crawford, Norman Shearer played for MGM. At the paramount, there is the irresistible Mae West, the sprightly Gary Cooper, the Marx Brothers, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Tyrone Power and the divine Marlene Dietrich. Warner Bros., directed by Warner Brothers, had not as many stars, but nothing that is not brilliant: Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney or Bette Davis. Twentieth Century Fox is reborn from its ashes in 1935, becoming the fourth of the Big Five majors. Finally, RKO will produce the genius work of Orson Welles, “Citizen Kane”.
Thus, the movie industry is the main reason people choose LA vacations. The history of the city is mixed with the one of the movies and this is a spectacular thing.
Formerly occupied by Amerindian and Spanish, LA has been since the arrival of Westerners, a place of exchange between cultures inevitable British (quickly become American) and Spanish (which is mainly present, Mexico). The climate of the city gives it its fabulous touch, and despite the frenzy of Hollywood, it is a relaxing place after all.
What distinguish this city from other cities are undoubtedly the growing oranges, which will soon have his fame of a benchmark citrus! Even the great New York envied LA for its tasty fruit. On top of that, the city overlooks the Pacific Ocean; this is useful to recall how difficult it is to miss a photo of the city! In very good note, therefore, Los Angeles is the city of oranges, trade, warm climate and, of course, movies.
