Growing up, I would have never imagine spending time in DTLA as an adult. The atmosphere and community was majorly different than what it is now. There was not much to offer, other than visiting Staples Center or taking a leisure walk in the Santee Alley looking for the best discounted deals. However, DTLA has drastically grown and it has shifted its ambience, scenery, and culture while remaining intact with its historic charm and busy city life.
