ABOUT

“Pico Boulevard begins in Santa Monica between two luxury beachfront hotels and ends at the Coca-Cola bottling plant at Central Avenue in downtown L.A. Traveling east on Pico Boulevard takes you through the Japanese and Iranian neighborhoods of West Los Angeles to the wealthy, predominantly white neighborhood of Rancho Park. Passing Fox Studios and the Hillcrest Country Club, Pico continues through the upscale business and entertainment center of Century City, the Jewish and Russian neighborhoods of South Robertson, the largely African American and Latino Mid-City District, and Koreatown. It then passes through the mostly lower income area of recent Central American immigrants in the Pico Union district and finally, to the crowded commotion of the Garment District in downtown Los Angeles. In short, Pico Boulevard is a veritable microcosm of Los Angeles.”
