City of Cerritos, California
http://www.ci.cerritos.ca.us/where/where.html
Cerritos is located in the heart of the Los Angeles/Orange County metro center, midway between Downtown Los Angeles and the business centers of Irvine, Santa Ana and Anaheim. Because Cerritos is virtually the geographic center of the Los Angeles Basin, it has become one of Southern California's premier commercial crossroads.

Cerritos Sculpture Garden
The Cerritos Sculpture Garden was dedicated on March 11, 2006 and included a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by representatives from as far as Cerritos' Sister City, Loreto, Baja California Sur. It is located to the west of the Sheriff/Community Safety Center in the Civic Center and was designed to house approximately 20 sculptures to be phased in over the coming years. Some of the notable sculptures to be installed upon opening included the Air Disaster Memorial honoring those who perished on August 31, 1986, a replica of the State of Freedom on the top of the US Capitol, two of four elemental allegories (Earth and Water) over a reflecting pool. A 50th Anniversary mosaic featuring an "open book" design will be installed before the City's April 24th anniversary. The layout of the garden was made to be able to accommodate future sculpture installations and is to be itself a work of art with lush landscaping.
Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts

The Cerritos Performing Arts Center box office.
The Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts (CCPA) features performances in music, magic, comedy, dance and drama. The centerpiece of the Cerritos Towne Center since 1993, the 154,000 square foot (14,300 m²) arts center is known to be a sophisticated theater. With movable seats, floors, ceilings and stage areas, the theater can transform into six distinctive seating configurations, ranging in capacity from 921 to 1,800 seats, ideal for dance, cabaret, theater, solo, jazz, classical and popular music events. The facility also houses three additional meeting and banquet areas.
The decision to build the CCPA originated before the City Council in 1984. The plan was to either create a large theater to rival the Long Beach Terrace, Orange County Center, and Los Angeles Music Center, or to build a modest community center and recital hall. Initial fears included having an audience of 300 people rattling around in an enormous white elephant, but once the decision was made to proceed with the construction of a world-class performing arts center, it received unamious backing from the City Council. The CCPA collected four prestigious awards for design shortly after its opening and is named one of the top grossing theaters in its category in the United States.
