One of the great modern American 'bazaars', LA's skid row has it all: drugs, prostitution, gangs, violence, civic impotence, etc.
Offers a chance to come face to face with the American police state - just don't get mistaken for a terr'rist. Or a tour'ist.
Safer in daylight, more colourful at night.
4th, 5th, and 6th Streets between Central Ave and Broadway, Downtown LA
