Los Angeles, CA
Angelino Heights
Today we marked off a checklist item!
We walked to and around Angelino Heights. Angelino Heights is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Los Angeles (according to
Wikipedia). It is known for its mixture of architecture.
Our walking route took us up and over The 101 Freeway (or US 101 if you aren't from SoCal).

We saw a lot of cool looking houses but it turns out we missed the heard of Angelino Heights. We will talk the walk again later and get it right so we can see The Thriller House.

Historic Filipino Town
Our walk home showcased the fact that we are in Historic Filipino Town. There are many Filipino Restaurants in the area.

This afternoon we went to Target Grocery because it is like a block away and we only needed a few ingredients for tomorrow night's meal. It's a terrible place and you should never go! Their selection was incredibly sparse and it was really expensive. Never again! (I didn't take any photos of this because I wasn't going to mention it but had to because it was so bad!)
Only 28 more days in LA! We need to get going! There is so much to do!

Very cool. I love the bungalow with the tropical plants. The shuttered liquor store looks like it maybe used to be a theater. Speaking of theaters, did I ever tell you about the time Mom called the Flamingo Theater and asked what was showing? Spoiler: Everything was showing.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Yea we are staying in a really great part of LA. I doubt we will make it to The Flamingo this trip. :)
