Places LA: Los Angeles River Center and Gardens

As if to prove that there is always something new in LA, I came across this photo of the LA River Center, which I had never heard about before. I didn't realize that after Lawry's closed shop, this new venue opened.

I am definitely going to have to head down there sometime soon and check it out.

Los Angeles River Center and Gardens

casual clicks has added a photo to the pool:

This is the ornate entrance to what used to be a Lawry's spice plant which also offered delicious restaurants and patio terrace dining. The gardens and courtyards are still spectacular and the entire facility is now used by the Los Angeles River Center and Gardens. Open to the public.
