Glendale

Glendale sits in the Verdugo Mountains' shadow, an old streetcar suburb that grew into LA's fourth-largest city. The downtown still wears its 1925 art deco bones — the Alex Theatre marquee, brick storefronts on Brand Boulevard — and the hills above hide a 1904 stone manor, a 1,200-acre cemetery that doubles as a sculpture park, and one of the densest Armenian communities in the world. This hunt walks the seams.
