A route between two very different worlds

Sunset Boulevard is, undoubtedly, one of the world's most famous streets. However, it might surprise customers of Super Cheap Discount Car Rentals to learn that this street isn't actually as glamorous as it appears to be. Sunset Boulevard actually serves as a route between two very different parts of Los Angeles - the luxurious residential areas of the west side and the gritty urban streets of Hollywood. A drive west along this street lets you experience the best of both worlds, providing visitors with an interesting look at life in America's showbiz capital. The unique nature of this street has inspired more than a handful of exciting artist endeavors, including hit television shows and multi-platinum music albums. Among these was the popular 1960's television show "77 Sunset Strip", Don Henley's hit song "The Sunset Grill" and the 1950's major motion picture "Sunset Boulevard". Sunset Boulevard also inspired the Eagles rock and roll group. Their hit album "Hotel California" features a photo of the popular Sunset Boulevard establishment the Beverly Hills Hotel as its cover.
