I am now a member of the LA Public Library (neat card!). Seems they let anyone with address ID become a member. What a fabulous place...great architecture, paintings, murals and wonderful holdings (had ALL of Jim's books...need I say more...) While downtown we took in the Biltmore Hotel where the academy awards were held initially. Quite the old hotel and lots of interesting photos of various events in the past. Then to the Grand Central Market. Really neat to see the foodstalls of all the various mainly Latino stuff...the chili's alone could blow up the city I think! The El Salvadorian stall had the most unusual stuff including cow's heads for sale. Then had to wait a rather long time for the bus home close to Broadway (very down at heel, rather like Cordova and Hastings) and of course another fascinating bus ride home.
