This is not necessarily to you but in particular to one poster in a previous thread who chided me for saying Downtown LA is not the clearly defined center of the area as I told him no such thing existed. He said I was a complete outsider that knew nothing about LA.

LOL. I remember the conversations you had on the LA threads. Just to clarify, since their is an obvious twisting of words going on, but I'm sure you'll figure out a way to bring it up again in the future.
Downtown LA is in fact the center of LA. For all intents and purposes.
Meaning.
.Geographically- downtown is the center of the region/county
.Transit wise - ALL of LAs mass transit lines (minus the green) head to downtown
.Freeways- just google maps. painfully obvious that downtown is the center of the freeway system
.Tallest skyscrapers- self explanatory
.Center of attention in regards to Hollywood movies
.Densest concentration of jobs in the regions.
Now. That being said. Marginally. Every other nodal center.... Century City, Long Beach, Glendale, Burbank, Santa Monica, Pasadena, Hollywood, LAX and etc. Don't compare to Downtown in economic drive. BUT they do spread everyone out away from downtown.
That being said. Its not necessarily saying that Downtown is the center of ALL attention since there are about 3 nodal centers on the west side alone. But anybody with half a brain cell, that have actually visited LA, can recognize that Downtown is the center of LA.
