“I visited back in late September as part of the #localadventurechallenge. This place is a great back drop for any kind of pics you may want to take! It’s an art installation at the LACMA museum and is accessible without actually visiting the museum itself so you don’t need a ticket. The artists collected and restored over 200 streetlamps dating back to the 1920s from LA and surrounding areas! It’s so aesthetically pleasing to walk among them! And was a great palate to practice on with my new camera too!” – TravelingMerm

“I’ve never visited Japan, but having said that, there are numerous restaurants in Little Tokyo with authentic menu items, shops that sell specialty items that would be found if you were to travel to Japan. It even has a market with traditional Asian foods. It’s quaint and charming. Before Covid, the Museums would have added to the attraction of visiting.” – Beatriz
