Lonely Planet review

Nope, LA didn't spring from the head of Hollywood directors, it was a full-blown community a good 100 years before DW Griffith showed up. Grab a map at restored Firehouse No.1 (the Plaza Firehouse) then wander through narrow Olvera St's vibrant Mexican-themed stalls. For LA's oldest building, see Avila Adobe, then walk through the Sepulveda House visitor center to see a restored 1800s-era kitchen and bedroom.
