Overview:

You don't need a sign to know you are in Beverly Hills. Traveling west on Sunset Blvd, the congested concrete suddenly turns green and plush. The Beverly Hills Hotel sign passes to the right and on the left is the world's classiest police station, resembling some sort of high-fashion shopping mall.

A few blocks to the south is the business district of Wilshire Blvd. There's more money on this street than in some countries. To the west is Rodeo Drive where the shops are far beyond the price range of most of the people walking on the street. To the right is a residential area with homes featured in movies portraying life in this city.

The sounds from decades past can almost be heard from the street corners. The Sunset Strip is the most famous 10 blocks in all of America. It's where bands from big cities, small towns and all parts in between go to get discovered. If they are good - and lucky - enough, they emerge from the crowd to reach stardom.

The Strip also has L.A's chic celebrity haunts, places where gaining entrance requires at least an Academy Award nomination or a few magazine cover shots.

Locality:

Beverly Hills is positioned on the edge of the Santa Monica Mountains in Los Angeles, California.
