Melrose Avenue Walk (La Brea to Fairfax)

I walk this route when I need to recalibrate my eye. The graphic culture here is raw, sometimes overworked, but consistently interesting. The city nowhere else looks like this.

The eight-block stretch of Melrose between La Brea and Fairfax is the most visually dense walk in LA. The storefront signage, building colors, and street mural density are unmatched anywhere in the city.
