Standing at the foot of the famous Wilshire Boulevard, which bisects Los Angeles from downtown to the Pacific Ocean.
Along the way it passes through MacArthur Park (yes, THAT MacArthur Park), the La Brea Tar Pits and the LA County Museum of Art, the Miracle Mile, Beverly Hills and Westwood (home of UCLA) before entering Santa Monica and its eventual terminus near the beach.
The drive will give the visitor a true sense of LA's diverse culture, ranging from the dynamic downtown. Downtrodden neighborhoods as well as the very wealthy. LA's Art Deco history is on display with a number of famous buildings still clinging to life despite LA's reputation for tearing things down.
The tallest building in LA (thanks to the 100 foot spire on its roof) is the new Wilshire Grand Tower on the left of the construction crane here. This shot is from the appropriately named One Wilshire Building.
One boulevard, decades of history.
