<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>As west as metropolitan Los Angeles s trendy Westside gets, Santa Monica has enjoyed a colorful history as both a resort community and a bedrock hometown on the Southern California coast. As a playground and ready-made set for Hollywood, traditional hotbed of progressive politics, and amorphous fun zone for a greater century of visitors, the city of Santa Monica has remained at the forefront of the evolution of California culture. Prior to World War II, Santa Monica was a collection of distinct neighborhoods Santa Monica Canyon and Ocean Park among them and its pier, built in 1909 beneath the bluffs of Palisades Park, became a regional draw, especially after the nation s largest dance emporium, La Monica Ballroom, was built on it. The vintage photographs in this tour through Santa Monica s beginnings and its growth through the early 20th century were selected from the archives of the Santa Monica Historical Society Museum."
