Downtown Los Angeles


I went to Los Angeles yesterday with Tyler's girlfriend, Allison, her mom and her sister. We caught the Metro train (which I had not ridden before) at Universal and took it to Union Station. First stop was Olvera Street (which again I had not been to) and ate lunch at one of the restaurants. A pitcher of margaritas later, we started walking to the fashion district. I've been downtown before but never really looked at all the buildings. Some really beautiful architectural details! We went to Santee Alley - which was sooooo crowded. Some of the shops were closed, which really surprised me since it was a Sunday. We had a fun day. Stayed down there about 5 hours. I think we must have walked about 10 miles! Good exercise! Plus Allison had us walking the stairways at the Metro Stations! Feel the burn!




Looked like hieroglyphics

















Heineken advertisement



















loved the fire escapes


















more fire escapes












this was a door that had letters
and numbers randomly placed
on it - looked like printer plates






















the bottom of this was painted
on the building and gradually
to the top it was almost like
it was carved into the building


Very Cool!



























































I loved the rounded
corners of this building















of course it wouldn't
be complete without
Mannywood!
