Don't forget the king of muscles

Funny, Schwarzenegger's picture is in a back alley by the Muscle Beach. But maybe this part of the street was much more busy back in the day.

Food for the people

Got to say, so far I haven't been too impressed by the LA cuisine. It's not on a par with SF. But Mao's Kitchen in Venice has a nice "Chinese country cooking" which I really like. This is mapo tofu with peanuts.
