"What we are seeing in those opening moments is downtown L.A., where Los Angeles began on September 4, 1781. Downtown, in its golden age, was where people shopped in grand department stores (all gone now), worked in the booming fossil fuel industry for the likes of Standard Oil (its architecturally important headquarters still stands), and flocked to premieres in over a dozen ornate motion picture palaces (many of which you can still visit)."
"And although downtown has gone through boom and bust, today things are on the upswing and DTLA, in local shorthand, is the most sensible, economical, and convenient place to stay if you're visiting for next summer's FIFA World Cup, the 2028 Olympics and Paralympics or for many other reasons, especially if you don't want to drive or take car services everywhere."
Downtown Los Angeles began on September 4, 1781 and served as the city's commercial and cultural heart in its golden age. Shoppers frequented grand department stores, workers were employed by booming fossil fuel firms like Standard Oil, and audiences attended premieres at numerous ornate movie palaces. Downtown went through cycles of boom and bust but is currently on the upswing. DTLA is the most sensible, economical, and convenient place to stay for major events such as the FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Olympics, especially for visitors who prefer not to drive. The neighborhood is the most interesting and walkable part of L.A. County, with lower lodging costs than West Hollywood or Beverly Hills and growing public transit connectivity with low fares.
