Streets of L.A.
10/28/2008
While in LA, I was staying in West Hollywood, close to some of the biggest names in streets (Sunset, Santa Monica, etc.). Here are some shots of what they look like in person.
The Sunset Strip near Holloway Drive:
Santa Monica Boulevard near La Cienega:
The Miracle Mile (Wilshire Boulevard near Fairfax):
Grand Avenue, which runs through downtown over Bunker Hill and past the Cathedral, the Disney Concert Hall, the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Biltmore Hotel (this view is from the Disney's 5th floor aerial walk, looking south):
The thing I noticed as I rode buses across town (and the hardest thing to capture on film) is that quality along these famous bouelvards is nodal. Between downtown and the ocean, there are some key intersections with high quality vegetation, pedestrian crossings, medians, and vital storefronts, as pictured above. In between are seemingly endless blocks of what I can only describe as marginal commercial frontage: one-story blocks with handscrawled signs and burglar bars. The streetscapes are generally devoid of trees. It's hot and quite bleak.
In all, I have come away with an impression of vastness. These streets seem to go on forever. They're wide, and the tall palms are stately, not lush. I know LA is big, but it feels big, too.

The perfect outcome like this post should be free for all students, because they want thesis and high quality dissertation service or just thesis sample.
