Downtown Los Angeles: A Walking Guide (Robert Herman)
The Guide provides everything from how to find interesting and little-known public art to quirky shops and unique neighborhoods that most of us miss because we drive by on the freeway. Bob loves cities and trains, so in addition to passionate descriptions of places to see, he also provides tips on getting there via the MetroLink and other public transportation.
