Leimert Park

Don't take advantage of what treasures lie in your backyard. Today I spent a fun evening in Leimert Park. I attended a show called "The Dance: The History of American Minstrelsy" It took a interesting approach of combining entertainment, history, and an introspective look at the question, "Are you dancing for yourself or for someone else?". It will be running until April and would recommend it.

At the shows close, I took a walk around Leimert Park and enjoyed hot chocolate at Sunny Spot and listened to a 6 piece Jazz band. It's amazing with all the live performances, art galleries, soul food restaurants, shops and ambiance; that the streets and venues aren't as populated as the 3rd St Promenade, The Grove, Melrose or any other popular area of Los Angeles.

There is so much history and culture in Leimert Park, we need to restore and rejuvenate it!
