The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum
The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is a large outdoor sports stadium in the University Parkneighborhood of Los Angeles, California at Exposition Park that is home to the University of Southern California Trojans football team. It is located next to the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arenaadjacent to the campus of the University of Southern California (USC). The stadium is jointly owned by the State of California, Los Angeles County, and the City of Los Angeles; it is currently managed by the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission, which has board members drawn from the three ownership interests.[1]
The Coliseum has the distinction of being the only stadium in the world to host the Olympic Gamestwice, in 1932 and 1984. It is also the only Olympic stadium to have also hosted Super Bowls andWorld Series. Typically this is not a sight that is seen or requested on Los Angeles guided tours, yet it was declared a National Historic Landmark on July 27, 1984, the day before the opening ceremony of the 1984 Summer Olympics.
A Private LA Club
The Jonathan Club is a private social club in Los Angeles, California, U.S. It maintains two clubhouses, one in downtown Los Angeles at 545 South Figueroa Street (built in 1924) and one on the beach in Santa Monica. Indeed, the private club’s location in a prime spot on the Santa Monica beach has been a continuing source of debate, since that portion of the beach is off limits to all but clubmembers and their guests.
The Los Angeles headquarters has dining and residential facilities, ballrooms, a health club, a library and other accoutrements. The Jonathan Club has been rated among the top five private city clubs of the United States for many years, and the Santa Monica Beach location can be showcased nicely on LA helicopter tours.
Membership in the club is by invitation. For most of its history it was for men only, but since 1987 it has accepted both men and women.
1994 Northridge earthquake
The Northridge earthquake occurred on January 17, 1994 at 4:31 AM Pacific Standard Time in Reseda, a neighborhood in the city of Los Angeles, California, lasting for about 20 seconds. The earthquake had a “strong” moment magnitude of 6.7, but the ground acceleration was one of the highest ever instrumentally recorded in an urban area in North America.
Seventy-two deaths were attributed to the earthquake, with over 9,000 injured. In addition, the earthquake caused an estimated $20 billion in damage, making it one of the costliest natural disasters in U.S. history, with visible damage that could been seen from Los Angeles helicopter tours of the area. The earthquake struck in the San Fernando Valley about 20 miles (31 km) northwest of downtown Los Angeles near the community of Northridge. The actual epicenter of the quake was in Reseda, near the intersection of Reseda Blvd. and Saticoy St. However, it took several days to pinpoint the epicenter with accuracy, and in the meantime the media had already dubbed it “The Northridge Earthquake.” The name stuck, in part due to the extensive damage and loss of life in Northridge.
Trust a Tour Guide to Make Your Trip Memorable
Even to those who have never visited Los Angeles before, Hollywood feels like a familiar place. The reason for that is rather obvious: So many films and television shows have been shot in the near vicinity over the years that the various landmarks and geographic features are ingrained in our minds. If you decide to take a trip to Hollywood, don’t be surprised at a feeling of giddy déjà vu around every turn.
There are so many things to do in Hollywood that a visitor would be hard-pressed to cram everything into just a few days. The best course of action is to trust all sightseeing ventures to a seasoned professional tour guide. That way, you can maximize all the time you spend ogling celebs outside the Kodak Theatre and viewing L.A. from above on a private helicopter tour.
