If These Walls Could Talk
L.A. Times staff writer Sharon Bernstein takes a tour of some of downtown Los Angeles' city wall murals in today's paper.
There are actually more than 1,500 murals in the city, Bernstein reports, but her tour takes her to just about half a dozen. She kicks off at the Our Lady Queen of Angels church ("La Placita") on Main Street -- where Maria and I got married last fall.
"On the side of the church is an image of the Virgin of Guadalupe, painted for the 2000 Jubilee," Bernstein writes. "It has become a shrine, flanked by rows of burning candles in a nearly hidden alley between Main and Spring streets."
