exploring downtown la

Well this Friday in particular seemed as if it was doomed for disaster. In the flurry of dealing with school midterms and work, I didn't have time to plan something to do. Never underestimate google and 30 mins of some intense searching. We decided to revisit downtown la & do some more exploring.
