We used to go to the fashion district, the farmers' market, the produce market, and Olvera Street. My dad worked downtown...Gosh, I haven't been there in YEARS! Thanks for the memories! Beautiful photos, too! :-)<br />Cheryl Anndesertsandbeyondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11861734579985048446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277742182540823151.post-898640424867095432014-01-05T03:24:46.001-08:002014-01-05T03:24:46.001-08:00«Louis» hopes you will link this with his Sunday B...«Louis» hopes you will link this with his <a href="http://bayphoto.blogspot.com/2014/01/serie-de-pont-de-dimanche.html" rel="nofollow"><b>Sunday Bridges</b></a> theme today! :-)Louis la Vachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09039777863022193315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277742182540823151.post-67916906424309707022014-01-04T10:25:25.183-08:002014-01-04T10:25:25.183-08:00Ha...been a very long time since I was in LA.

Everyone likes to see the Rose Parade but I like to see the floats afterward in the park because it is up close and personal, feels like it is just for us not the entire world.<br />I look forward to seeing and enjoying more of your well honed sense of place in 2014, Happy New Year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277742182540823151.post-28847773333014542302014-01-03T09:37:44.509-08:002014-01-03T09:37:44.509-08:00These are awesome - they certainly have the L.A. v...These are awesome - they certainly have the L.A. vibe.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826369816985788575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277742182540823151.post-15580161663269251242014-01-03T09:24:54.364-08:002014-01-03T09:24:54.364-08:00Those are awesome shots!

I've never seen a river lined with concrete; we have canals around here with concrete as banks, but those back up to houses and are to prevent erosion, I'd guess.
