What Happened to MacArthur Park?

Most people know MacArthur Park for what it is today. But few realize this area was once one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in Los Angeles. In this video, I explore the history of MacArthur Park, from its early days as part of the elegant Westlake district to its role in Hollywood, music, immigration, and modern Los Angeles culture. Along the way, we'll visit filming locations, talk about the famous song that made the park known around the world, and discover how this neighborhood became one of the most fascinating and misunderstood places in LA.
