The idea that Los Angeles is a city of myths and memories is a notion that has been around since the early 20th century. The City of Angels was made up of utopian ideals in the minds of many as well as an exciting place to live and work, but it also had its share of dark days. It seems that Angelenos have always had a sense of nostalgia for what their city used to be, even if they no longer live there, because the sense of place that was once there is largely gone.
