It was only in the 1920’s that Mid-Wilshire truly became one of Los Angeles’ most renowned neighborhoods. It began with the vision of developer A.W. Ross, who was poised to revolutionize the way Los Angeles shops and consumes. The goal? Creating a strip of luxury boutiques with an abundance of free parking. The concept was ahead of its time, but after a few judicious investments, the district flourished. Consumers flocked to the strip of boutiques, which became known as the Miracle Mile. The Miracle Mile is still an iconic part of the Mid-Wilshire neighborhood.

While the Miracle Mile kicked off the district’s future, Mid-Wilshire is now known for more than just its boutiques and parking. There’s a strong, cultural undercurrent to this modern neighborhood. The Petersen Automotive Museum, El Rey Theater, the George C. Page Museum and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art can all be found here. Beyond its cultural fiber, Mid-Wilshire is also home to the La Brea Tar Pits, an iconic tourist attraction in Los Angeles. Between its tourists spots, its boutiques and cultural landmarks, Mid-Wilshire a true hotspot both for Los Angeles locals and visitors.
