We have stopped in downtown to see things like the Disney Concert Hall and the old Neon Museum when it was in LA or the Grammy Museum but this gave us a chance to see and learn a lot of other things we had not been to or seen in a number of years. If I see a groupon deal for this again I will probably buy it. Hey I wonder if they have a trademark on this building like they do on the Rock Hall in Cleveland.

This was a Sunday in January and there was a lot going on in the public areas in LA. Concerts in one area, native Mexican dancing in another. One of these days I plan to take the Metro Gold Line from Pasadena to Union Station and get off at some of the stops to explore.
