LOS ANGELES | Downtown Project Rundown 4.0

[Kingofthehill]

And I definitely agree that there has been an increased amount of exposure for DTLA. Traveling around, it isn't uncommon to see DTLA profiled in magazine articles or articles in Sunday newspapers' travel sections. I still don't like the smug, pretentious way East Coast publications - like the NYT - talk about DTLA, and LA in general. You won't believe the number of hipsters and people into music/arts/architecture/culture/et al, from or living in the trendy parts of Brooklyn, Chicago, London, or SF (among other places), who at least have a passing knowledge about DTLA. DTLA is an increasingly well-known and regarded name in such circles (the ones I dwell in). And Echo Park, too. Actually, thanks to its indie music venues and hipster reputation, Echo Park might be even more well-known! lol
