Olvera Street

If you are looking for a fun way to spend a few hours in L.A., you should check out Olvera Street across from Union Station. There a bunch of restaurants where you can get yummy food and shops where you can get neat things like marionettes, maracas, and colorful clothing.

Art in the Streets

The Art in the Streets exhibit at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA began on April 17th and runs through August 8th. This exhibits showcases the recent history of graffiti and street art. If you haven't seen this, I would highly recommend that you check it out before it is over.

This Debbie Harry piece was one of my favorites.


Enjoy this video of Debbie Harry and Kermit the Frog singing Rainbow Connection on a 1981 episode of The Muppet Show.



You may also want to watch the film, Exit through the Giftshop, which contains footage of current graffiti and street artists Banksy, Invader and Shephard Fairey.
