The front of the El Primer. Dig the art deco style!
We can’t recommend El Primero enough. It’s a great place to stay, a fantastic deal, the owner is one of the nicest people in the world and Chula Vista is a nice place.

My family lives in the SF Bay Area. Whenever I make the trip to the coast to see them, I try to visit the Golden Gate Bridge. Usually it’s just to stare and wonder what I could possibly do with my camera that would be different from the multitude of other photos that have been made of this Iconic bridge.

Goodbye, LA History!
As I come to the end of the whole series of reblogs from the losangelespast blog, I want to say thanks to all the likes & reblogs and also say, yes, do follow the LA blog so you can continue to enjoy it. I’m sure I will reblogging pics from it in the future as well as showing off many, many pictures of LA architecture, which is rich in Art Deco.
