The ultimate symbol of L.A.'s creative spirit; Italian immigrant Simon Rodia's staggering and inventive tribute to free expression, a thirty year labor of love that lives on as a masterpiece of American folk art. Recently re-opened following repairs to earthquake damage, it is the home of an Art Center and an annual jazz festival. www.wattstowers.us
