'COME TO LOS ANGELES! THE SUN SHINES BRIGHT, THE BEACHES ARE WIDE AND INVITING, AND THE ORANGE GROVES STRETCH AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE. THERE ARE JOBS A-PLENTY , AND LAND IS CHEAP. EVERY WORKING MAN CAN HAVE HIS OWN HOUSE, AND INSIDE THAT HOUSE IS A HAPPY, ALL- AMERICAN FAMILY... LIFE IS GOOD IN LOS ANGELES... IT'S PARADISE ON EARTH'
- From the film LA Confidential, 1997.
Los Angeles, California, conjures up loads of different images - for instance - Beverly Hills, Hollywood, fame and fortune, sun sea and sand.
Whilst for many, it represents the American dream, to some it isn't all glitz and glamour - as you will see on this webpage.
