Arts District Vlog

By: Paul Samaha ‘17

Here’s a little video I made of my adventures yesterday in the Arts District. I encourage everyone to check out the Arts District; it’s just a 15 minute drive away from USC and you can spend the whole afternoon walking around the beautiful post-industrial neighborhood, making it the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of the downtown college life. Spots located in the video are the Daily Dose Café, Artist & Craftsman Supply and Little Bear Pub. The Arts District is definitely one of LA’s most underrated neighborhoods. Be sure to check it out and enjoy the getaway!
