Lexuz and I first decided to go to the Bradbury Building to start our sight seeing day. It was amazing to walk inside this large building that was seemingly hiding in plain sight. There were a couple people already inside and a small group followed us in so it was nice to know that this place was known. I am amazed about how little people knew about this, especially because I had one friend who was bragging about how much he knew of LA to also be amazed. I got to learn a little about the history and definitely went home to do my own research. It was also cool to find out that this place had a small career in the movie industry.
The architecture of this building was absolutely stunning. I have rarely seen something that looked like that and wish there were more buildings that represented that. The stairs and railings were something special with the amazing elevator in the center of the building. It was a quiet place that gave off an old but serious feeling.
I then went to the Biddy Mason Memorial Park. It was another gem hidden in plain sight. This place is in between multiple buildings and is hard to find unless you are looking at a map. It had a serious atmosphere and gave a lot of different vibes. I was intrigued to read the wall and learn the story. It was deep and definitely had a lot of meaning that I believe everyone should know. The wall was also beautiful to look at and I do wish it was upheld to maintain that beauty.
We then went to lunch at the Grand Central Market. It was enjoyable and I was overwhelmed from all the possibilities. There were many different varieties from italian to mexican to chinese. The most interesting place was a PB and J sandwich shop. I tried some amazing mexican food that I was recommended. The food was served quickly and it was also really really cheap. The place was really crowded but luckily we were able to find seating. I definitely would want to go back and eat more food here.
We finally went to the MOCA. The Museum of Contemporary Art is a place I have known of for quite a while, but never had the chance to go. Being able to go to this was eye opening and lovely. It is free to get into and all I had to do was wait in a 10 minute line. After that, my friends and I spent more than an hour admiring and talking about all the different types of art. From more meaningful art talking about racism to a weird sculpture of hundreds of eyes. This place kept me entertained. I often drifted away from my friends and got lost because I was stuck looking at a piece and trying to take it all in. They also had a small interactive room of different colors and it looked amazing. It was fun to walk around inside the different colors or even watch the other people change color as they went to the different windows.
This day was memorable and enjoyable and I would love to do it again some other time.
