Quote of the day.

I believe in this town, I will always be an Angeleno in that I will always fight to reaffirm what I believe to be true, that in this century, L.A. is to the world what New York was in the 20th century and London in the 19th. We're the gateway to a rising China and Asia, we're a gateway to a rising Mexico and Latin America. Our diversity, our port, our airport, our people will make us the preeminent city in the world. I believe that.

-Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa
