Sunset Strip


The Sunset Strip is a party destination like no other—home to gangsters in the roaring 1920s, playground of Hollywood royalty then and now, and the origin of many famous brands. In the 1920s Angelenos discovered poinsettia fields and avocado groves outside the boundary of Los Angeles and the jurisdiction of the LAPD. That lovely spot became West Hollywood. With a relaxed (to nonexistent) police presence, WeHo grew into a lawless entertainment mecca. The Strip is still a prime destination for swish music, entertainment and partying, plus superb dining, and ultra-stylish shopping. In the 1960s much of the genesis of modern rock-n-roll happened on The Strip. To commemorate the 50th anniversary, the City of West Hollywood produced a program called ‘There’s Something Happening Here’ which includes art exhibitions and special events.
