"If #LA has often seemed like a city without history, it is perhaps because so much of its past has been recycled into myth. Cars and movies...are the essential icons of #LosAngeles, emblems of speed and light and movement; but they also reside at the heart of our national mythology, and this is perhaps by Los Angeles has come to occupy such a singular place among American cities, a symbol of the country's most expansive dreams and its most streamlined technologies. [LA is] exotic territory, full of outsized ambitions and outsized fantasies, a funhouse mirror offering grotesquely exaggerated reflections of America itself." ~ #DavidUlin
