Its likely a typical "One-Way" street. There are a few dwntn. I L❤VE L.A.

Yea it’s really developing a lot of $$ being dumped into DTLA rents are skyrocketing and it still has a huge homeless problem it’s nice every once in awhile to visit they have some nice rooftop lounges they need more public transportation and routes to make getting there easier.

Wow those old buildings are incredible and I’m so happy to see them get restored and renovated . Thanks for the tour.

Thanks for your great video! The Downtown Los Angeles,(DTLA for short), renaissance, has experienced lots of fragmentation, that's kept it from experiencing the total refreshment of its renewal efforts! Its on its way!

Glad to know this info. Thank you

It’s so much to hang out in DTLA😍 It's a great mix of the old and the new 👍

Wow, as much as I love DTLA, I learned so much new things that I’ll be doing this Friday! Thank you so much! (:

Never saw as much of Downtown LA as i would have liked but the parts i saw..i LOVED!!! Visited the House of Machines,skyspace and Golden Gopher bar..will deffo be ack on holiday there in 2021..GO L.A..!!!!!

Im so happy to hear about the palace theatres. One is converted into a church. The lady that leads the church is popular, l cannot recall her name. She has hundreds of old/ancient bibles that fill up the beautiful lobby. L.A. was very ornate & fancy. My grandparents told stories of long walks downtown wearing their fur wraps, and tuxedos while heading to the b/w movies. And the sidewalks had purple square lights built in to the side walk. You can still see them on 7th St, while heading towards "Skid-Row".....

Wow the view of hotel that you mentioned lastly..is looks like heaven!

Thank you so much, Brigham and Chris. Downtown has changed tremendously since I worked there 40 years ago. It was dirty, run down but full of small businesses I desperately miss. Regular folks have been forced out by the affluent and corporate ownership is mixed bag. I'm so glad some of the movie theaters and hotels have been restored!

@@joefisher1972 There is no need to feel unsafe in DTLA Joseph. During the day and early evening - you'll be fine. As in any big city...pay attention, be aware. Should you visit Skid Row? NO! Is DTLA unsightly? Yes. Is it decrepit? Yes. Are there better areas than others...yes...around the Music Center, for instance, and around The Broad (pronounced "brode") Museum is much nicer than the area near the Movie Palaces on Broadway. And I would recommend seeing The Public Library, and certainly visit Little Tokyo! and The Last Bookstore. You should see Union Station and have a meal at Philippe - The Original French Dip. And pay a visit to the L.A. Cathedral. I have no religious affiliation whatsoever but the place is an amazement. Beautiful. It's really a shame that DTLA is so blown out. It cries out for gentrification. And in no other instance would I call for gentrification - in no other city - I hate it generally - but DTLA is in dire need of attention. It's coming up slowly. I give it another 10 years. If I were visiting L.A. I would stay in Santa Monica at The Ambrose or in one of the hotels near Sunset and La Cienega. And I would visit Hollywood Forever...another must-see! And The Beijing Pie House in Monterey Park... Check this out: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZYqNl8-YfZfLkc4.html

Downtown was very cool. My brother lived near Southpark in the old Packard building. I spent most of my week visiting LA walking around downtown while my brother went to work. I really enjoyed it. You truly do not need to get in the car at all. There are Ralph’s market, the Whole Foods, that mall with Target, coffee shops, great places to eat. I went to the Grammy museum & loved it. Check out DTLA.

I think Los Angeles has unique architecture as well!

Born in 1948, I grew up in various parts the LA area through the '50s and '60s. I vividly remember as a child wondering at the streetcars and their tracks and overhead electrical lines. I remember marveling at the magnificent art deco, black-and-gold Richfield building, whose destruction seemed shocking to me. In 1966-1967, I commuted by bus between West Covina and UCLA. Since I changed busses downtown, this gave me the opportunity of viewing all those wonderful old buildings at my leisure. Anyway, I thought of them as very old, although at that time they were really still comparatively young. I saw some movies in one of those grand old theaters. I remember rooting for DTLA to become a more vital and alive place, because at the time it was a bit on the shabby side. Although I now live in Washington state, I find it very gratifying to see the old place waking up and to see not only lots of new construction and revitalization but also the refurbishing of some of those great old buildings that were the backdrop for so many gritty films noirs. My youthful dream is finally being realized!

I think it will slowly improve in the coming decade as new shelters and service and affordable homes are built. But rather than concentrating a majority of homeless in the Downtown/Skid Row, it will decentralize and disperse the homeless throughout the city and county. This should help Downtown revitalize in the long run but also help with those in Skid Row by getting many people help. There will always be sizable population still that dont want help, dont want shelter and are fine to be outside in a tent in a section of the city that is industrial warehouses. But maybe it can shrink the Skid Row area to a more manageable area like the size of SF tenderloin. rather than the less than 1 square mile that it is now.
