Why I Live In Downtown Los Angeles....

At last night's Create-Fixate art opening/party in the Spring Arts Tower, I reminiscenced with one artist about the glory days of Buenos Aires and with another person about a particularly infamous/famous brothel in the Recoleta section of the same city. I also spoke with a collector about an equally famous infamous street (for other reasons) on the outskirts of Beirut in the early 1970's, with a lady from Slovenia about hanging with the artist collective IRWIN in the East Village in the late 1980's and the early 1990's, with another lady about theater in London in the 1990's and with all of them - and quite a few others - on why they are all now living or working - or both - in Downtown Los Angeles.
