A Street Full of Talent
Helloooo everybody! As we promised in our previous post, today's LA Tip is about the ôther famous part in Santa Monica besides the pier, the Third Street Promenade.
On 1960's, 3 blocks of the Third Street were converted into a pedestrian mall, and later (1980–2007) an enclosed mall was added at the Promenade's southern end, now known as Santa Monica Place. The renamed Third Street Promenade opened on September 16th, 1989, and has bsince become the nationally success that is today.
Besides the countless national and international brands along the street (famous Forever21, Apple Store, Zara, Louis Vuiton or Tiffanys as a few examples), and the incredibles restaurats, one of the best things that you will find here is many over talented performers and entertainers. On a warm Saturday night, singers, classical guitar players, magicians, street dancers and other artists can line among this street to show their talents.
We have been here at Santa Monica Downtown many times, and we were frequently surprised by many artists, but we both agree that the young violinist Daniel Morris that played on Thursday was awesome, becoming one of our favourite street performer in LA. Here you have an small part of one of the songs he performed:
As we explained yesterday, just a few blocks away you also have the pier. The day is long enough for enjoying both places in only once, but if you are too bussy, just write down the name of the one you let out and come back in you next free time.
