Downtown LA's Ups And Downs — Past And Present: Part 1

#266: It’s been a minute since we explored a L.A. neighborhood on How To LA. We’ve been to Little Tokyo, West Adams and Sylmar before. Now, we’re in downtown.
But we’re not going to try to boil down the entire area in one episode. 
Today, we’re going to get into the history of the ups and downs the area has seen over the years, and learn a lot from a walking tour of downtown put on by the Los Angeles Conservancy (led by docent Robin Holding).

(This episode was engineered by Hasmik Poghosyan and Donald Paz.)
