Downtown Los Angeles is the center of the metropolis of Los Angeles, California. The sprawling mega-city is so large that its downtown is, in many ways, a district like Hollywood, as much as the leading area of the city. It is home to the city and county's government, many of the city's major arts institutions and sports facilities, a variety of skyscrapers and associated large corporations and an array of public art, unique shopping opportunities and the hub of the city's freeway and public transportation networks. Downtown Los Angeles is generally thought to be bounded by the Los Angeles River on the east, the 101 freeway on the north, the 10 freeway on the south and the 110 freeway on the west.
