It sounds like an interesting tour. I just returned two days ago from a mission trip where we served on Skid Row. You say that the corner of Florence and Normandie is where the 1965 riots began–I do believe that was where the 1992 riots began with the beating of truck driver, Reginald Denny.

Wow. It looks so pretty covered in snow. What a fun time to visit Salzburg.

Yolanda – thanks for catching that, not sure how I missed this! I’ve just updated. Operation Healthy Streets is supposed to start next month in Skid Row – hopefully a few improvements will be made, although 3.7 million doesn’t go very far.

Very interesting.. Definitely not your average tour, but it sounds interesting to me! I’ll have to check it out next time I am back home in the USA

Katie – yes it is a constant battle between the street artists and those removing their work. At least there is a home where they can paint w/o fear of art removal.

I hope the street artists continue to win!

In reply to Wondernuts.

Nicole – most definitely. I love Homegirl Cafe – creative cuisine by reformed Gang members. http://www.davestravelcorner.com/guides/losangeles/la-restaurants/#Lo

Yea, that is always interesting to me when driving around town – the immediate neighborhood changes – often within a relatively short distance of each other.

I might have missed this, but homeboy industries also is a place to reform people who are getting out of gang life. Awesome catering too. Absolutely love their salsa verde and tortilla chips.

LA is amazing in that you can go from a very beautiful affluent neighborhood and not even a mile later, be in a hood. Fairfax Street is like that. There’s a stretch around LACMA that are just beautiful houses, but as you head towards Venice, it gets a little more “dangerous.” But, dangerous is a relative term. I’ve been all over this city, so places aren’t really “dangerous” to me. But, to a visitor, it may look that way.
