East Los Angeles Travel Guide: 20 reviews and 20 photos

MY PORCH VIEW OF DOWNTOWN - East Los Angeles

east los angeles is my home

LA is very vast and spread out (ie: you need a car or motorbike here). this is a blessing and a curse (to me), but makes los angeles a great place of many cultures and many art forms you are ALWAYS discovering. anyone who thinks LA is obvious hasn't really seen it outside hollywood perhaps, and should. get a thomas guide if you're serious.

i live for the winters here--alittle weather (barely), clear days, alot less traffic and the stars come out!

Pros and Cons

Pros:great history, culture, food and art
Cons:alittle further, but worth it
In a nutshell:the heart of the city began pulsing here
