Metroji clue #22

Los Angeles in five emoji

United States

A county of neighbourhoods that never quite became one city. The film clues are separated on purpose: one is the industry, one is the place.

What each emoji refers to

The studios moved west partly for the light and partly to get away from Edison's patent enforcement.
Almost every palm in Los Angeles was planted. Only one species is native.
Hollywood is a neighbourhood before it is an industry.
The Walk of Fame runs along Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street.
Santa Monica and Venice are the beach end of the same sprawl.
