Traction Avenue Arts District in downtown Los Angeles, Californis where music meets street art. The Red Hot Chili Peppers, White Strips, and Beck performed at Al's Bar in the American Hotel. See our visit at: https://youtu.be/F_lGsgncTFQ
Neek and I went to downtown LA in search of an area near Little Tokyo filled with murals and other street art. There was some parking on Traction Avenue so we stopped there to take a look around. Lots of murals painted on the sides of buildings were already visible as we walked down the avenue.
We were happily surprised as we approached Third Street to see that part of the street was closed off. There were booths where people were selling arts and crafts and one that was selling different blends of organic juices. We tried one filled with different kinds of citrus fruits that was really tasty. Walking around there, I could see Shepard Fairey's 'Peace Goddess', a mural of a beautifully shrouded woman with an owl resting beneath her chin, which I thought looked fantastic.
There were so many murals and other examples of street art in the area it was impossible to capture it all. Many other people were also taking photographs and enjoying the relaxed atmosphere. It was a beautiful day and we had a lot of fun checking out all the great art!
