7 Reasons to Love L.A.: Crimes, Missions, and Noodles
There are thousands of stories to tell in Los Angeles, but sometimes a picture says so much more. Thanks to our LAist Featured Photos Pool on Flickr, here are 7 moments worth taking a second look at in our 7 Reasons to Love L.A. series.
Plus: As we explained over on our Facebook page, we've got a new extra aspect to our 7 Reasons series... One photo each week will be used as our "cover photo" on the LAist Facebook page as part of the Timeline layout.

One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere. LAist is now 100% community funded and that means we’re taking our future into our own hands and turning to you to keep local reporting strong.
