New LA Diggs

nanci and i have been loving life in downtown la! the unique restaurants, shops, bars, music, events, getting around on subways and buses... there is so much to do! downtown has improved A LOT in recent years, and it continues to develop... new things are popping up constantly.

thought id give everyone a sneak peak into our apt. we live at the reserve lofts in the south park district of downtown, 3 blocks east of staples center. our building was formerly the federal reserve bank, nanci parks in the basement right next to a huge vault door! the area is very safe, girls walk their dogs in our neighborhood at 11pm at night. its a perfect location for us, family friendly and walking distance to so many cool places.

this is what our apt looked like before we moved in. it was literally just one big room with a loft/storage area on top of the kitchen.

  3. Your loft is welcoming and I stylish! BTW - if you're in NYC anytime soon, the MET is having a Guitar exhibit (I think they called it Guitar Band or something catchy like that). It was a very cool exhibit! --Karen Leslyn
