--Sunset Boulevard is approximately 35 km long and passes through or near Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, Little Armenia… The best-known section of Sunset Boulevard is probably the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, which is a center for nightlife in the Los Angeles area. (There was a television series, 1958 - 1964, called 77 Sunset Strip. Listen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vm1CNKg3M5Y )
The first film studio opened on Sunset Boulevard in 1911. Do you remember the famous 1950 film Sunset Boulevard? Who directed the film? Who were the two main characters? What was the tragic ending?
--Wayfarers Chapel, also known as "The Glass Church" is in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. It has a unique modern architecture and is on the cliffs above the Pacific Ocean. A fantastic view! Frank Lloyd Wright’s son designed it in the late 1940s.
--Marina del Rey has the second most restaurants per square mile of any United States city or town, with the exception of New York City, which is first.
