Rodeo Drive

Rodeo Drive (pronounced "row-DAY-oh") is a famous 3-block long stretch of boutiques and shops in Beverly Hills, California, United States. It is known as one of the most expensive shopping areas in the world. The center divide on this street was a horse path until the early 1950s, and the shopping district as presently constituted did not exist until well into the 1970s.
