Even before O.J. rode in the Bronco or "The Terminator" became governor, Frank Lloyd Wright said, "Tip the world over on its side and everything loose will land in Los Angeles." The Los Angeles metro area has been a "boomtown" since the completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1876, first attracting "the folks" from the Midwest with a blessedly warm and dry climate- and becoming a gateway to a remarkable diversity of immigration from throughout the Pacific Rim and Latin America. L.A. is a sprawling megalopolis; starting at one end you could drive for more than two hours without leaving the county's influence. The metro area includes smaller cities, such as Santa Monica, Burbank, Pasadena and Long Beach, which were founded around the end of the nineteenth century and retain distinct identities. Geographically, there is no clear method as to what is part of the city of L.A. For example, Hollywood is a neighborhood of Los Angeles but adjacent West Hollywood and Beverly Hills are independent cities. The city's primary newspapers are the Los Angeles Times and the Los Angeles Daily News . The free LA Weekly comes out on Thursdays and is a good source for concerts, movies and other local information. Local areas may have their own free neighborhood papers as well. "BrokeLA.com" has a listing of under $10 events in Los Angeles.
