Founded in 1781, the oldest of all the L.A. neighborhoods, Downtown Los Angeles also seems to be the newest because of the accelerated urban revitalization and rapidly growing skyline. While we're living and working here, we are witness to Downtown's second golden age, revealing cultural shifts, design cues and typography trends reminiscent of the city's first golden age in city living, speakeasies, sign painting, craft cocktails, public transit and more.
Pizza that tastes like New Orleans.
It's like a visual candy store for designers, and well literally, a candy store for everyone else.
Lured inside by the type on the historic marquee and mesmerized by the high open wood-truss ceiling populated with theater lighting, this is the first time we find it difficult to shop in an Urban Outfitters. City revitalization attracted Urban Outfitters to rehab the 10,000 square foot Rialto Theatre, originally built in 1917. The brick wall in the back of the store is painted white and plays movies during store hours in tribute to the theater theme. The constantly changing marquee messages are awesome.
