The city of Los Angeles is not a unified city. Los Angeles consists of too many large sub cities or communities to speak with one voice. There are many sub cities in LA such as the Westside, Hollywood, the Valley, Downtown, and of course, South Central. To make things more difficult, many of these sub cities themselves are not unified. Due to their size, all
The theatre has been a part of entertainment since ancient Greece, around 4th century BC or thereabouts. The theatre grew out of festivals in honor of the god Dionysus. Aeschylus created the first play in her honor. The first Greek plays were all tragedies but eventually comedy made its way and these plays were performed at festivals all over Greece. Through the centuries theater played the main role of entertainment from noble and royalty to the common person in any city or village, and as we move into the twenties
Theater and theatrical performances are as old as time and thanks to Shakespeare, there are incredible pieces for performers and audiences alike to enjoy for the next several thousand years. The circular design of the theater created a bond between the actors on the stage and the audience. The Globe brought together people of all castes and unified them through theater. As long as someone had a penny to spare, they could see a show at The Globe, allowing everyone the unique theatrical experience The Globe provided. The Globe still offers performances and camps for youth to learn about theater in the place where Shakespeare entertained. This fact alone is a testament to the importance of The Globe and Shakespeare’s works. With the efforts of Shakespeare, his troupe, and other actors and writers of his time theater has grown into a unifying form of entertainment for all people (possibly even across The Globe). The Globe will forever serve as the home that raised theatrical performances into the extravagant, sometimes life changing, experiences they have become and will always continue to
I attended the Temple College Vocal Point concert on November 1, 2016 at 12:30 pm in the Jackson-Graeter Backstage Theatre. The Theatre, located in the Mary Alice Marshal Performing Arts Center, at Temple College is small, seating approximately 100 people. Since the setting is quaint, it makes for a personal experience, allowing the audience to truly see and hear the entertainers character. The stage size also has a downside, at times the actors would trip over each other while dancing.
In the midst of the Great Depression of the 1930s, Paseo de Los Angeles-later referred to as Olvera Street was created through the efforts of Christine Sterling and city boosters in the oldest section of the city. Olvera Street was an imagined Mexican culture rich street not unlike the renowned tourist districts of Mexican border cities (Arreola and Curtis 1993). The theme was "old Mexico," pitting a timeless, romantic, homogeneous Spanish-Mexican culture against industrialization, immigration, urban decay and modernity itself. You see a vibrant and colorful street with an authentic marketplace atmosphere. It’s packed with restaurants, shops, and vendors selling imports from Mexico such as, brightly colored piñatas, candles, maracas, blankets and clothing. As a constructed place, Olvera Street was the product of a social and economic agenda established by civic elites to transform downtown Los Angeles through the removal of undesirable residents. The opening of Olvera Street and the preservation of the old Plaza
Traffic in downtown Austin, Texas is becoming a sever issue and is continuing to become slower and more congested every day. Austin ranks 4th on a list of U.S. cities with the least efficient roadways, and with its remarkable growth rate, the issue can only get worse. After reading numerous articles based on opinions and statements from local city planners and engineers, the best way to see an improvement in the traffic issue is to increase the amount of public transportation in the Austin area. The increase of public transportation would provide fast travel time and would help reduce the amount of money, commuters and locals use on gas by a substantial amount per year. Though many may argue the that we have enough public transportation already, reducing the number of personal vehicles on the road would decrease the amount of bumper to bumper traffic experienced on a daily basis, as well as increase the options for those commuting to the city every day. there are many possible solutions, such as widening the highways or even building them underground, these solutions however are not the most economically correct and productive way to relieve traffic downtown.
To begin, The Globe Theater had a very unique building structure. In the article “The

Theatre today as in ancient Greek times is a popular form of entertainment. Today’s theatres share many similarities with the Greek predecessors however they are also very different. There are in fact many differences for example; layout, special effects, seating arrangement, the importance of drama and religion, setting, location and architectural features.
After Erosol opened in May 2014, the rugged, red-brick structure on the corner of Edgewood Avenue and Boulevard became a stomping ground for famous rappers and aspiring artists. Also known as “Department Store” because of its location in a 1900s variety store, the venue made its mark as one of Edgewood Avenue 's hottest nightlife spots, with lines out the door.
At that time, the theatre was restored to its glory days of the 1920s, and since then, it has broken box office records with musicals such as The Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables.
As a person who has now lived in San Diego for over 22 years and a Latino, it is impossible not to see the medley of direct influences of Hispanic culture in this border town. Because Hispanic people heavily populate the city and it’s proximity to Mexico, representations of this thriving culture can be found in the city’s art, food, religion, architecture, economy, and politics. To get a better understanding of this, we must start at the beginning.

Los Angeles was the first product off the assembly line of American urban planning. Turned on in the late 19th century, the city-making machine was fueled by an immense immigration of people who sought to create a new type of city out of the previously quaint pueblo. They also strove to craft the first major city developed primarily by Americans and outside of European archetypes. As a result, Los Angles is not only incredibly diverse, but also nearly impossible to define. Since it is a product of the American machine, understanding the community of Los Angeles becomes vital to understanding the United States. But to fully comprehend the present Los Angeles, one must look at the process that created it. Specifically, Los Angeles was
