Scenes from the Los Angeles Art District

            My wife wanted to see the Bradbury Building in downtown Los Angeles. Since neither of us had been here before we wanted to check out some other areas, including the Arts District, Little Tokyo, and the historical center. We took the Metro from near the airport (that was an experience). The Arts District was the first stop - I saw it compared to the Wynwood Walls in Miami and thought it would be like Freak Alley in Boise. Not even close. We did find some art - it was impressive but limited in quantity and spread out. We also noticed that Skid Row and the Arts District seems to have merged - we were amazed by all the makeshift tents on the sidewalks. Homeless people everywhere. No one bothered us but it was a weird vibe. We then went to/thru Little Tokyo and must have missed it completely. We saw three temples but they were completely surrounded by thick steel fencing and locked tight. We saw a bunch of hookah and stuffed animal shops but nothing remotely like Tokyo. We soon came to the Bradbury Building - this is known for the cool wrought iron interior. It was actually a nice building but the public is only allowed on the first floor - bummer. Next stop was the Grand Central Market. It was more of a big food court than a market. It smelled good but it was packed with coughing, hacking, and sneezing tourists from a very large Asian country so we didn't linger. We took a small incline plane - Angels Landing ($0.50) to the top of a hill and were immersed in skyscrapers. Since this is a major earthquake zone we didn't want to linger here so we went to some very cool museums. We are glad we went but nothing really would warrant a second trip back here.

I took these photos in January 2020.
