Exploring Melrose District | Los Angeles Walking Tour [4K]

Today we are exploring Melrose Avenue in the Melrose District. This is a longtime hip stretch of stores and restaurants that was a counter culture center in Los Angeles. According to Wikipedia: "The eastern end of the district, which runs from Fairfax to Highland Avenue, became a popular underground and new wave shopping area in the early 1980s. Pioneered by adventurous independent retailers and restaurateurs, Melrose Avenue captured the global imagination as the birthplace of Southern California's New Wave and Punk cultures. Rapid notoriety quickly lured movie stars, moguls, and style seekers, leading the press to dub Melrose Avenue "the new Rodeo Drive." Ready for its close-up, the avenue enjoyed its share of TV and movie cameos, and appeared regularly on Jay Leno's "Jaywalking" segments of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, in addition to shows such as Entourage and LA Ink." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melrose... I remember coming here a lot when I first moved to Los Angeles over 20 years ago. The area reminded me a lot of Greenwich Village in NYC with its unique and crazy shops and the general culture and style of the area. While it still retains a bit of that independent flavor, it definitely has transformed over time and isn't quite what I remember. Some of that might just be me getting older while the scene is still for the 'kids'. There is a lot of construction around and efforts to revitalize the area. And while it seems to be gentrifying a bit, the lack of massive chain stores bodes well for trying to keep the spirit of this area alive. Its still a cool place to walk around and check out the street art tucked in everywhere. It was definitely nice to visit again on foot. The second half I struggle a bit with the sun being in a terrible position. Clearly spring is not my season.. I've tried my best to mitigate the blown out light with editing, but there are still a few moments that are too bright. Sorry about that. As always, thanks for walking!
