Rainn Wilson and the Geography of Bliss

my comfort zone, yet there's so much i don't know about my own hometown. it's like we're all too busy sitting in line at in-n-out burger to learn even the basic history of this place. los angeles was founded by the spanish in 1781, who claimed it from its original inhabitants, the chumash and tongva peoples. in 1821, mexico achieved independence from spain, and soon after, america waged its war with mexico, taking california as its own. there were gold rushers, oil barons, 20,000 chinese immigrants building a railway, and the birth of a movie industry. ♪ ♪♪ today, nearly 10 million people live here, but this is a remarkably disconnected place. yet i learned on my travels that even in a place as troubled as bulgaria, there was happiness to be found. ♪ ♪♪

Leguizamo Does America

right down to the street names. and if you think it has something to do with colonization, well, you're right. the indigenous tongva and chumash people lived in the la basin for centuries before it was claimed by spanish conquistador juan rodríguez cabrillo in 1542. in 1821, this land became part of mexico until the end of the mexican-american war in 1848 when mexico ceded 55% of its territory, including california, to the u.s. but trust me, los angeles still oozes all things mexican, and i couldn't think of a better person to welcome me to the real la than this iconic mexican american, native angeleno, george lopez. and guess what? he's taking me to east la, and we're eating at his favorite spot. ♪ [car horn playing "tequila"] [laughing] yes, sir.

i'm gonna get some tacos al pastor. 'cause you know me, i don't play, i need to eat. ♪ [upbeat horn-driven music] ♪ - ♪ [trills] ♪ - when you think of la, i bet your version of it has to do with rodeo drive, beverly hills, and celebrities. ♪ but the reality is that los angeles is a city of latinos. you can see that latin influence everywhere, right down to the street names. and if you think it has something to do with colonization, well, you're right. the indigenous tongva and chumash people
