Well, the birthplace of 20th century Christian Fundamentalism, maybe. I suspect Aimee Semple MacPherson wasn’t the first fundamentalist, nor even the first American fundamentalist.
Did you know that the former campus of Ambassador College and headquarters of the Worldwide Church of God more or less surrounds the old YRL offices on DeLacy? Some of it, including Ambassador Auditorium, is now owned by Harvest Rock Church (http://www.harvestrockchurch.org/), the rest seems to be mostly vacant. When I was at Tech, a friend of mine used to like to run over to Ambassador and work out on their artificial-surface running track, a rare luxury in those days. I think he got some (very polite) flack because running shorts and t-shirt violated their student dress code.

interesting:
“The internet was born in Los Angeles; the first message between two computers was sent from a computer in UCLA in 1969.”
