Welcome to Culver City, California.
A city of southern California, a residential suburb of Los Angeles, It is a center of the U.S. motion-picture industry, whose roots in the city date to c.1915. Its chief manufactures are rubber products and computers. Directly south of the city is Los Angeles International Airport.
Since the 1920s, Culver City has been a major center for motion picture and later television production, in part because it was the home of MGM Studios. It also was the headquarters for the Hughes Aircraft Company from the 1930s to the 1980s. The city is now home to the headquarters facilities for National Public Radio West and for Sony Pictures Entertainment.
Although the city is mostly unremarkable, its streets should be very familiar to most Americans. Due to its proximity to the movie studios, the city's streets have been featured in countless films and TV shows. Since much of the architecture of the residential areas of the town have not changed in decades, the nostalgic sitcom "The Wonder Years" filmed many of their outdoor scenes in the neighborhoods of Culver City which easily passed for the 1960s. The 1970's show "CHiPs" also featured many non-contiguous chase scenes through the streets. The Nicholas Cage film "Matchstick Men" featured many scenes at Culver City's Veterans Memorial Park (which was also featured in the opening scenes of the sitcom "Valerie"/"Valerie's Family"/"The Hogan Family").
