Oh yeah! Nothing like La-La Land!
Home of colossal traffic jams (makes rush hour on 410 in S.A. look like a piece of cake!).
Avoid eastern and south central LA at all costs -- gang central. Most of your big attractions are in the far-flung, spread out suburbs, though there are a few decent attractions within LA.
Of course, you have Hollywood. Check out Mann's Chinese Theatre, with its famous stars footprints on cement, the Stars Walk of Fame and the distinctive Capitol Records building on the corner of Hollywood and Vine (The red beacon on the top of the Capital Records building spells out H-O-L-L-Y-W-O-O-D in Morse code at night.)
Even though there is a mass transit system, LA is infatuated with the automobile and you can't get from point A to B without driving a good distance.
Hope this helps...
