Fun tour Saturday - Historic Districts of Los Angeles. Lunch rocked at Farmers Market. Then on to Carroll Avenue to check out the pre-1900 Victorian homes. Stopped at the Apple Tower Theater to admire the amazing restoration of a 1927 landmark. Capped it off with a drink at Union Station's craft brewery in a Southwest Deco-themed former restaurant from 1939. LA excels in historic preservation!

FUN FACT : The donut has opened in Costa Mesa! Randy's Donuts first opened in LA in 1953. Architects call this "programmatic architecture (1925-1960) where the building design = what's sold. Obviously, made to be seen from a moving car. By the way, get the crumb cake!

14/08/2022
