I took a short trip today through LA’s cherry blossom-lined streets in Chinatown. The architecture and historical relevance of the area require a day alone to enjoy. Shopping and eating will be on the docket for the next trip. Enjoy. 😉
Downtown LA always lures me back. At this point, I’ve walked the streets of DTLA so many times I can’t count the miles – but I always find new art, hidden street art, shops and pockets of social commentary to appreciate.

So, I’m a little sad that I only discovered this on accident as I was patronizing the row of food trucks that park themselves parallel to the LACMA during lunch.

The unmatched views from East Oakland, charm of Lake Merritt and street art of Downtown Oakland (along with Preservation Park) are just a few of things I can now say I’m lucky to have experienced. 😍 … Read More Oakland
