Los Angeles Times Population story thumbnail

The mountains? Stunning. The coastline? Divine. The climate? Unbeatable.

But L.A.'s richest resource and greatest glory may be its people, a clamoring carnival of both native-born and transplants, of dreamers and believers. Pop.u.LA.tion is your ticket to the show, a spectacle seen all too fleetingly through a windshield or not at all. There's history on every corner and a story on every street. On the Westside and the East, in the hills and the basin, Pop.u.LA.tion takes you to the people, makes the introductions and celebrates the daily parade of character, commerce and culture. -- Steve Lopez
