L.A. is a city of many surprises. It's easily got one of the most misrepresented reputations. Tourists have one idea of what the city is and I think people who live around the area have their own ideas. Admittedly I was one of those people who really didn't think there was much to see and do in LA... especially downtown LA. Turns out the city does have its gems, quite a few of them if you can find them. As a photo hobbyist, there are endless photo opportunities and I'm still finding new places!
The beauty of Echo Park. Yes... there is some vegetation and trees around the concrete jungle that is L.A.
- Pros:Lots to do...
- Cons:The traffic, the smog, typical big city BS
- In a nutshell:Loadsa fun

hi there, what restaurants would you recommend. nothing too expensive. thx
Yes, this store is cool! I loved those bands performing down the aisles. Great stuff.
Great page here Jon, very informative! Ive only done a tiny bit of the US, not the West coast...but this looks most inviting! Thanks for sharing!
Cha cha's.....very colorful! Looks like a fun place.
More fantastic stuff from joits! I absolutely love LA. You have to try that Mummy ride in Universal - just to see people run from it pale and screaming is worth the wait in line. But if you think the driving in LA is bad, don't come to Dubai! Ali
Yup, yup, I was at the festival too! Aren't the bed of lotus awesome looking, especially with downtown as the backdrop. I love LA! =)
