There’s something mystical about Los Angeles that makes you dream as you’ve never dreamed before. If you’ve never been there, you’ll have to tap into the magnetic energy that exists in the center of the country’s film and television industry. It’s a fantasy place where people go when they want to escape a dull reality and transition into an alluring feeling of possibilities.
Standing strong as the second-largest city in the United States, there’s always something to do. Whether you’re checking out the high-end luxury shops on Rodeo Drive or getting a picture of the famous Hollywood symbol, it’s not hard to fall for the enchantment of the city.
If you’re wondering why people love LA, here are 4 reasons that will open your eyes to a whole new world:
1. The Weather Is Everything You’ve Been Looking For
Ditch the winter coats, gloves, and boots. When you’re in LA, all you need is a jacket, sandals, or whatever makes you feel comfortable. You can show off your creative style and don’t have to hide who you are under layers of clothing. What’s even better is that you have the chance to soak up 70-degree weather all year round. The silky cool air will make you feel like you’re in heaven. Plus you’ll be able to get the most soothing flavors of ice cream anytime you want it.
2. The Perky Palm Trees Take Your Breath Away
When there’s nice weather around, you have to liven up the area with palm trees. LA has plenty of them! Palm trees are the iconic image that attracted over 1 million people to LA in the early 1900s. The presence of these trees still plant thoughts of luxury, wealth, and vacation in people’s minds.
The California fan palm (Washingtonia filifera) is the only tree native to the state of California but these tall, skyscraper-like trees have made LA a dreamy-like destination that many people flock to in order to feed their imagination.
3. The Grove Shopping Center
Get ready for an incredible shopping and entertainment experience! Opened in 2002, The Grove Shopping Center has become an adult playground filled with fashion-forward stores, summer concerts, and a 14-screen movie theater. If you’re vegan or vegetarian, you’ll find a diverse range of meals and desserts that cater to your food preference. How does vegan red velvet cupcake from Sprinkles Cupcakes sound? Yum!
If you’re heading to LA before the holidays, stop by The Grove for the annual tree lighting celebration and visit Santa’s workshop at the winter wonderland.
4. Basketball Games
If you’re a fan of basketball, you probably know that the sports spirit is alive and well in LA. The city’s rich basketball history makes it a great place for retracing the footsteps of basketball legends. During my recent visit, I stumbled into an iconic statue of Magic Johnson by the Staples Center. You’ll see many more statues on your journey. And if you’re craving more basketball, head to the UCLA and USC college basketball games.
