Wilshire Boulevard is the unofficial Main Street of dreams that flows through Los Angeles history. Like Los Angeles itself, Wilshire is an accidental phenomenon created out of civic pride and the yearning of the masses to drive. Its 15mile route to the sea has been called the Fifth Avenue of the West and the Champs Elysees of the Pacific. Wilshire's style, architecture and historic prominence are recorded in more than 150 photos, so readers understand the fascinating cultural geography of the first autodependent metropolis. Wilshire Boulevard details the thoroughfare's crucial part in the emergence of Los Angeles as a world city and relates the fascinating story of Gaylord Wilshire, the turnofthecentury social gadfly who never experienced his namesake's enduring fame.Kevin Roderick is a journalist, editor, blogger and author living in Los Angeles. He is the creator and publisher of LA Observed, a widely cited news website that Forbes rated as Best of the Web. He is a Contributing Writer on politics and media at Los Angeles magazine, an awardwinning radio commentator, and is often asked by the media to talk about Southern California issues. In addition to Los Angeles, Kevin's magazine reporting has appeared in Smithsonian, Los Angeles Times Magazine, The Industry Standard, C, L.A. Architect and the Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles. His latest book, Wilshire Boulevard: Grand Concourse of Los Angeles, was a Los Angeles Times bestseller and Editor's Choice, as well as a finalist for the Southern California Book Award.
