North la Cienega Blvd
"Vast area with plenty to do"
Essentially the heart of shopping within Los Angeles. Intersecting with Melrose Ave and right near by Beverly Center and The Beverly Connection, its a great place to purchase the latest trends or whatever your into at the moment. Everything is close by, but the street is relatively busy. Always in motion and traffic could get a little congested during rush hour.
North Canon Dr
"Relaxed part of North Beverly Hills"
This is where Beverly Hills hides its doughnuts. In a little cafe called Fritteli's located on 350 N Canon Dr. Canon, in my opinion, is the more normal part, where the prices are a lot lower and all of a sudden everything once again seems to appear affordable. There are a few delicious places to eat here and for the thousandth time; shopping.

Wilshire Blvd
"Straight to the Beach"
Easy way straight to the beach. On the Santa Monica section of Wilshire there are plenty of shops as with all of downtown Santa Monica. Usually its busy with all the incoming traffic and bus lines but its not too difficult to get around it. In addition, its an easy commute down to Beverly Hills and beyond.
Magnolia Blvd
"Small Town Commercial"
Once your on this street you definelty get the feeling that your in California. Plenty of Apartments nearby in a subtle area. North Hollywood High School is just around the corner. Full of places to eat for a small price. Quite a decent place to live if your just starting out.

West 3rd St
"Good for a Start"
3rd Street definetly leads to a ton of important places, but as for the street itself...not really. Its quite long , but at least towards Hauser Blvd you arrive at the Grove. Which I would personally nominate as this streets main attraction. In all, if you find yourself on W 3rd Street, its because your probably trying to get somewhere else.
Sunset Blvd
"I Spy Nightlife"
NIghtlife! Full of clubs, dancing , and things you wouldnt want your mother to see. Welcome to Sunset Strip. The party gets around 11 and doesnt stop till next morning. Not exactly a great place for kids. Other than its infamous nightlife , sunset strip offers a few things to do, like eat. Aside from filling your gut...not much else to do here during the daytime.

Moorpark St
"Not Much Leads to a Lot"
Ventura definetly leads to plenty of other streets that lead to something better. Make much sense? Probably not. Anyway, there are a number of shops and good hang out places to go to. Ultrazone is also along the way so if you feel competitive feel free to stop by there.
South Rodeo Dr
"Have you got the money?"
If you come here for shopping, then you better have a bank account the size of a whale. With the exception of food, picture throwing away at least half of your income if you decide to go on a shopping spree here. That is, if you are a normal hard-working middle class citizen. Otherwise, its a beautiful street full of bustling tourism and sightseeing. The sightseeing consists of looking at window booths of extremely overpriced pieces of cloth.Enjoy!

Sepulveda Blvd
"Welcome to Sepulveda"
Down by Westwood, Sepulveda Blvd isn't the cleanliest street in the city. However, it does offer tons of shopping. Some sections can get a bit distasteful, but the area in general is not known for being "poor". As for things to do other than shop, Westwood Recreation Center is about a one mile drive from Olympic and Sepulveda.
California Ave
"Great California Ave."
The Santa Monica section of California Ave begins in a slightly urban setting and leads down all the way to the beach. As you get closer to the end you hit 3rd street which is full of shops and other attractions. The area along with the street is quite well maintained so expect beautiful scenery and a bustling beach city.
