Los Angeles Areas

Attached are some pictures of a few areas in Los Angeles - specifically, Santee Alley and Olvera Street.

Santee Alley, also known as the Fashion District, is a bargain hunters dream. We really expected something different when we heard it was the "Fashion District" (cause it turned out to be pretty ghetto :). It spans an area of 90 blocks - made up of various vendors and small shops - selling items such as jewelry for 99 cents, luggage for $3.00, and I bought a skirt for $1.00!!!

Here's some info if you are interested in reading further: http://www.fashiondistrict.org

Olvera Street is the oldest street in Los Angeles. It is known as a Mexican marketplace - open everyday, but especially crowded on the weekends, when you will find perfomers entertaining, such as singers and breakdancers. Place full of culture..
