Downtown with Huell Howser

As part of his California's Gold series, the ever-enthusiastic Huell Howser visited Downtown Los Angeles. "People either think of Downtown as a place with tall office buildings or Skid Row, but it offers much more than that. We hope to capture the energy and excitement of its bustling streets and neighborhoods, and debunk its myths." Huell explores the energy of the people who live, work, and play in Downtown, uncovering local restaurants, a vibrant cultural and art scene, historic architecture, and more!
