Here is another article extolling the growth of tech on the Westside.    The article talk about the tech scene and how it differs from Silicon Valley.  It is a good primer on the cultural changes that are happening in the coastal section of what I have termed the tech boot.  The growth of tech is occurring primarily in  the  base of the boot on the Coast, which spans from Manhattan Beach, through El Segundo, Playa Vista, Venice, and then Santa Monica.  The shaft pass through east Santa Monica, West Los Angeles, Culver City, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Downtown, Burbank, and then to Pasadena.
