Things to do in Los Angeles
Los Angeles is the center of the American entertainment business, with studios and production companies spread from Burbank and Hollywood to Culver City and Santa Monica, but its economy reaches far beyond film and television. The neighboring ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach form the busiest container port complex in the country, and aerospace, fashion, real estate, finance and a growing technology sector all run deep here. UCLA, USC and Caltech anchor a serious research community, and places like Beverly Hills, Pasadena and the Westside each function almost as cities of their own.
