    Description

     

    A field guide to Los Angeles: surf legends and poets, punk musicians and sports icons, gang culture and palm trees. This guide reveals the city’s layered identity—from iconic coastal scenes to historic neighborhoods shaped by art, ambition, and reinvention.

    Inside Wildsam Los Angeles, you’ll find stories from celebrated writers, both past and present; illustrated maps guiding you to movie palaces, secret stairways, and landmark destinations; interviews with native-plant experts, casting agents, traffic engineers, food critics, and community voices; plus archival miscellany and a curated selection of authentic food, culture, and shopping experiences. Designed for travelers, locals, and cultural explorers, this guide captures the energy and contradictions that define LA.

    What’s Inside

    "Early filmmakers spoke of Los Angeles in almost mystical terms. They talked about the magical sunlight. 'We've tried every part of the world,' one producer told the Los Angeles Times. 'This is the best place.'"

    Rich in storytelling and practical insight, Wildsam Los Angeles blends cultural history with modern discovery—capturing the essence of a city built on dreams, creation, movement, and light.
