What do you like best about Los Angeles?
Los Angeles is a city of experiences both for its residents and visitors alike. From its position as the entertainment capital of the world including awards shows, concerts and performances, museums and galleries, theme parks, iconic beaches, sporting events (Super Bowl 2022, Olympics 2028, possible World Cup 2026). All this with a reputation as being a world class city with unrivaled infrastructure investment, LAX Airport, Silicon Beach, and an innovation culture being home to futuristic endeavors. Personally my family’s favorite is taking a nice drive on PCH and soaking in some of the SoCal sunshine.
