Reviewing the unusual role the Movie Studios and
Golf Courses played in growth and fame of W. LA.
More Westside Stories
The third book in a series about the western portion of Los Angeles, explores what puts the region on a par with London’s West End and New York’s East Side. Why, for example, film studios built on the Westside despite Hollywood’s early movie making activities? How golf came to have an outsized role in the area’s development? Why the Getty Museum, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, LAX and UCLA all ended up on the Westside? The book also looks at coming transportation innovations, business trends and lifestyle changes sure to impact the area (and perhaps the world) in the future.
