Pedestrian Impressions 2: Walking Downtown

Before I start, allow me to say that it was a horrible walk and worse at night than in the day. The sidewalks weren't in the best of shape, but that wasn't the big problem. The big problem was it was as non-descript as could be. Most of the high rises had nothing to do at street level, there were few coffee shops, news stands, shops or other pedestrian attractions and the entrances were as drab and nondescript as can be. Unfortunately, I didn't have the best camera at the time, but here are some images I did capture.

Nice wide sidewalks in the business district weren't the order of the day once you got slightly away from the central downtown. In Little Tokyo the crosswalks were half as wide, and certainly didn't have any bricks.
