My work trips to LA were mainly spent in the office but we did go out sometimes to get some lunch.  As we walked through the downtown, I got more of a look at this area than I have had before.  The buildings in the heart of downtown are often quite old and have some nice architectural styles.  Many have been either well maintained or refurbished more recently and they look very nice.

We went through an arcade of shops and food outlets when getting lunch one time.  It had a lovely look to it.  The architectural finishes on the outsides of buildings were good too.  One of the buildings has been converted into an Apple Store.  The inside of that was remarkably grand.  I wonder how many people come in to buy products and how many are just checking the building out like us?
