Well my vacation is over. The last two days I've been out and about taking pictures. Saturday, Tom and I went to Venice Beach and I was able to take pictures and then on Sunday morning, I snuck out of the house and went on an adventure to Downtown Los Angeles. I walked all over the place. I even took the subway to Union Station and went to Alvero Street. I received a call around 3:00 asking where I was mind you I left the house at 9:00 in the morning. Tom asked, why didn't I take him... I told him I didn't think he was in for another day of me taking pictures... Most of my pictures focused on the buildings but I realized that their wasn't any real architectural qualities about Downtown Los Angeles. I'm not an art major or anything but I've seen a few big cities and Los Angeles is way behind. They are trying to revitalize it but they have a long way to go. Their weren't and coffee shops where you could sit back and relax and read book or a Sunday paper. No bookstores... Art Galleries...Nothing... What is the Major doing? If you're a dog lover then don't think about moving to one of those over price lofts... You won't find a patch of grass anywhere. I guess the big city wasn't designed for families. Well enough bashing of Downtown. I worked down there for about five years and nothing has really changed.
