Glendale is located about 9 miles north of Downtown Los Angeles, near the Verdugo Mountains. Glendale is a large city in Los Angeles County, California. The population was 200,165, as reported by the 2010 Census, making it the third-largest city in Los Angeles County after Long Beach and Pasadena.

It is also one of the few neighborhoods in Los Angeles located in a relatively flat region.

It is bordered to the north by the hills of Griffith Park, to the northeast by Eagle Rock, to the east and southeast by Pasadena, along its southern edge by Burbank and Griffith Park. Glendale shares borders with its neighboring cities such as Los Angeles (Hollywood), Burbank, Silver Lake, and Pasadena. Glendale has one of the largest communities of Armenian immigrants in the United States. Glendale is home to a number of historic sites and landmarks such as the Americana at Brand, the U.S. first Denny’s restaurant and birthplace and final resting place (and memorial) of Art Deco architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

The Museum of Neon Art (MONA) is a museum dedicated to the display and interpretation of neon signs. It opened on Glendale Boulevard in 2008. The American Society of Appraisers’ main offices are located within the City of Glendale and serve as home to many financial professionals who work in Southern California. The museum itself is home to a large collection of vintage neon signs and other related items, as well as hosting various classes for those who are interested in the trade.

Glendale is also home to Zov’s Bakery, which was established over 40 years ago by Armenian immigrants Zov and Sarkis Guljumyan. Zov’s has remained a part of Glendale culture since its opening, even after Sarkis Guljumyan passed away in 1993. The bakery is also known for its “Middle Eastern food buffet” which includes Armenian delights such as Lahmajun, Pizzas, Dolmades, and Grape Leaves. The bakery was also featured in the film “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” which is partially set in Glendale. Zov’s boasts its own fleet of trucks to deliver baked goods to local businesses around the city of Glendale.

Glendale is known for its history of German immigrants and their descendants, many of whom became successfully self-employed business people and merchants. A recreation of a German street or village called “Old Germany” inside a failing shopping center on Colorado Boulevard has been the site of festivals celebrating German culture throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
