Los Angeles is a destination unlike any other: it’s the entertainment capital of the world, offering 75 miles of sunny coastline, a flourishing Downtown, lifestyle playgrounds for the rich and famous, acclaimed restaurants, trend-setting art and fashion scenes, and internationally flavored neighborhoods. With so much to see and do, it can be overwhelming. Fortunately, Los Angeles provides numerous ways to explore the city, whether it’s driving on iconic streets and scenic drives, riding the Metro Rail, or pedaling along hundreds of miles of bike paths. The best way to begin exploring LA is to learn about its vibrant regions — each one a destination in itself, filled with memorable experiences and unique attractions. For those with disabilities, LA offers convenient access to transportation and attractions.
I looked through all 403 data sets in LOS ANGELES OPEN DATA and these were the only ones that look potentially interesting. @jendiamond
