You know what's the worst thing about travelling? Not knowing what you're gonna get. Well, with Wendell, the pictures he's taken are accurate. The description he's given is accurate too. And there's no need to embellish the neighbourhood b/c it's just a cool artsy area. My teenage daughter and I took the Metro (1/2 blk distance) in to L.A. and though it was a bit of a ride, we never felt threatened or anything - actually people were quite friendly (yeah, I know, who'da thunk it!) Thanks Wendell, we also appreciate the quick responses!
