Show photo

Los Angeles, home of the world’s superstars, is a world-class city in California, USA. It is the largest city of the state and the second largest in the country, with a population of more than four million people.

The city enjoys a Mediterranean climate with mild, wet winters (ranging around 18°C) and hot, humid summers (around 28°C but it can get up to 40°C on occasions). Los Angeles’ proximity to the Pacific Ocean, results in it receiving cool breezes that temper the temperatures. The region lies in an earthquake-prone zone.

The city is the seat of the Los Angeles County and is served by the Los Angeles International Airport, which is the fifth busiest airport in the world. The Los Angeles- Long Beach Harbour is the third largest container shipping port in the world.

Los Angeles has received global fame owing to its motion picture and music industry.

The Zale Map... Ask for it by name. The Zale Map's history (Short story version) As a former street performer on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, I would get asked on a daily basis "Where is the star for Elvis?" or "How many stars are on the Walk Of Fame?" or "Doe's so-and-so have a star?" I knew both locations for Elvis of course (the original at (E-13) and its relocation to (G-1) on The Zale Map) but, I hate to admit it, in many cases, I hadn't a clue. My Mission Then an idea that I began as a kid but shelved due to its massive undertaking came back to mind. So I pulled it off the shelf, dusted it off and went to work. I set out with my video camera and filmed from Hollywood and Gower, to Vine, to Sunset, back to Hollywood and down to La Brea, then back to Vine, up to Yucca, back to Hollywood and finally back to Gower, stopping at each and every star and catching live video as well as a still frame to cross reference for the exact address. This took me several days. I then sat at my Lap Top with my hand drawn map as well as a true to scale map, and the internet maps and watched the video, freeze framing every star and locating it on my hand drawn map as well as the true to scale map. I must have cross reverenced each star at least 3 to 4 times, accuracy a must. The entire project too me over 2 and a half months (75 days to be exact) but, finally, here it is... The Zale Map I must say it is thrilling to have put together the first and only map that has all *2,454 stars chronicled precisely, I hope you enjoy. *NOTE* Click here for the latest star recipient update. On behalf of Hollywood, I would like to say, welcome to our city and may it be your best vacation ever!
