Downtown L.A.

Found some old photos of the downtown L.A. Some parts look ancient and others are exactly the same. Where have all the cool cars gone?

Found my current space in the Continental Building... probably still somebody's office...

This intersection has been used in countless movies and commercials. Look familiar? Most tv shows set in New York... shot right around here. Movies too...

Cliftons... now a shell of its former self... under new owners who promise not to change but guarantee to hipster out the last flicker of real life that made it cool.

Never got to see this spot... damn... The inside was just as crazy and if you didn't have any money, you didn't have to pay for lunch. What a concept.

It's not glamorous L.A., just down & dirty Baltimore, but I like it :) There's a Baltimore County section, too.
