Changes: Portola Drive

Latest revision as of 17:51, 9 April 2024

Portola Drive is a street in Rockford Hills, Los Santos that appears in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.

Overview

From north to south, it begins at West Eclipse Boulevard, running parallel to Mad Wayne Thunder Drive ending at the intersection with Dorset Drive, where it becomes Palomino Avenue.

The street also has connections to Edwood Way, Spanish Avenue, Caesars Place, Boulevard Del Perro, South Boulevard Del Perro, Eastbourne Way and Carcer Way.

Description

According to the commemorative compass plaque in the pavement at the start of Little Portola, the street was established in 1769. The plaque is inscribed around the perimeter with "Don Jose Gaspar De Portola El Rodeo De Las Aguas".

Portola Drive is a popular shopping area and tourist attraction in Los Santos and much like the rest of the neighborhood, it is known for its high-end atmosphere where many celebrities hang about in their leisure time.

The southern stretch of Portola Drive also includes ^[1] a pedestrian-only shopping precinct known as Little Portola, starting at the intersection with Eastbourne Way. On Portola Drive at this junction there is a statue of a rearing horse, entitled Faswan.

The two block stretch of shopping south of Boulevard Del Perro is four lanes wide separated by a grass median planted with palm trees. There are metered parking bays either side with more palm trees. The northern section is only two lanes wide and is primarily high-end residential property.

According to the Vinewood Star Tours, many Vinewood movies were filmed on Portola Drive, most of them horrible ones. One of these movies was "Shoe Whore", a movie from 2005, that took credit for setting women's rights back 50 years.

Influence

It is based on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, California with Little Portola representing Two Rodeo Drive.

The name is a reference to Gaspar de Portolà, a Spanish explorer from Catalonia that was governor of California in the 18th Century and this is corroborated by the plaque which also refers to the land that became Beverly Hills.

There is a Portola Drive in San Francisco, also named after Gaspar de Portolà.

Trivia

General

A Truffade Adder, based on the Bugatti Veyron, can sometimes be found parked outside Sessanta Nove. This Adder is a reference to the Bugatti Veyron Bijan Pakzad edition parked on the same spot on Rodeo Drive.
It is implied that the original name for Portola Drive may have been Hampstead Drive, as Simeon Yetarian tells Franklin Clinton that Michael's home is "on Hampstead, off Eclipse" at the beginning of Complications.
- Additionally, in the list of properties managed by Lenny Avery Realty featured on their website, a house stated to be on "Hampstead Drive" is actually located on Portola Drive.
