#1daygetaway

#DTLApinpoints refers to a different type of pin. Don’t think pinterest (although a pin should get pinned on pinterest), think of these like sound bites, message clips, randomly installed in Downtown Los Angeles, like little treasures just waiting to be discovered! The first installation goes down tomorrow morning, October 24, 2015. Every (clothes) pin has a message on one side and a hashtag…

On our #dtla #walk from #littletokyo to #Poketo, #streetart was everywhere!

A lovely thing happened on the way to Poketo; art was everywhere! (Click here to see the route we walked.) Love everything about this! Had to shoot this from afar. Have no fear, we will return! Even the Little Tokyo Car Wash had that unique DTLA art district vibe. We saw this on our way back to the Metro Gold Line; E. 1st Street and Hewitt.  The clock was ticking on our day in LA and so we had to…
