History Attractions in Los Angeles

So much has happened is Los Angeles in such a hurry. The modern history starts with the Spanish missionaries, followed by the time of the adobes, and then quickly shifts to the massive real estate boom that we are still in throes of. Many landmarks from this history, including the missions and adobe houses, are easily accessible today.
