A Bit of LA Soul
Go Metro or walk around in LA's great weather and begin to understand the soul of eclectic Los Angeles. The Downtown Art Walk gives a diverse view of LA's very own arts scene, while the Race of Dreams gives you a reason to put on your running shoes in the middle of winter. Get creative at hip hop jams and spoken word contests, or just simply sit back and enjoy poetic comedy. And for those wanting a bit of the classics, catch a performance of Beethoven's music.
