The Local Tourist
http://www.thelalocaltourist.blogspot.com
I am The Local Tourist. I'm from Los Angeles and have lived here most of my life, but there are so many places in L.A that I've never visited. Now, it's time for me to be a tourist in my city and discover some of L.A I've never seen before. I'm also planning to re-visit some old haunts I haven't seen in a while! Feel free to come along for the ride!
