The Big Birthday Blowout: A Myth?
You'd think a city as glamorous and self-absorbed as LA would have a massive, star-studded birthday bash every year, right? Wrong. Turns out, pinning down an exact date for LA's birthday is like trying to find a parking spot in Beverly Hills – a real pain.
The official story goes that LA was founded on September 4th, 1781. A bunch of Spanish settlers decided to throw down roots and call it a day. But let's be honest, who's really counting? It's not like there was a big fireworks display or anything. Probably just a lot of complaining about the weather.

So, When Do We Party?
