Check out the historic Los Angeles Theatre, across the street is also the historic and recently revamped Cliftons Cafeteria which is also very awesome. I could write a book about L.A as I grew up in suburbs and spent years exploring old downtown.

@NigelDoes: Yes, and glad they kept it like the old days.😜

Yes! It would have been criminal to change the décor. So much history there that feels almost tangible just walking in. I love Los Angeles history.

@NigelDoes: So do I Nigel, kind of incredible that the area is once again the "got to go" place for a younger generation, it's actually considered "hip" to be there on a Saturday night. Oh, and the old Bradbury Building is another must see, a popular site for film making.

I've been there as well although not for many years.

@NigelDoes: Thing is, with that building, the guy who designed the building installed these incredible skylights that got blacked-out during WW2, after a couple of decades they finally replaced them which totally turned the interior into a incredible bright and airy showplace that they have kept intact all these years later. The wood panels and wrought iron are nothing short of fabulous.

Wow, I never knew that. Thanks for the history lesson Dave. :-)
