Past Meets Present Walking Tour
Past Meets Present Walking Tour
Past Meets Present takes place during the Downtown Art Walk and explores how the historic sites of Los Angeles' past are shaping its future. Stroll through artist stalls and past performance artists, as our wonderful docents show you how architectural treasures of the past became a unique location for nightlife and a growing urban population.
Spend an evening in downtown and learn about how a former bank became the world-famous Last Bookstore, an abandoned streetcar terminal was transformed into a luxury apartment complex, and other pre-1930s office buildings became popular bars, clubs, and restaurants.
