"The boulovard of inequity"
Oh Melrose. This Hollywood go-to spot is legendary for it's cutting edge fashion boutiques and rock & roll devil may care attitude. Don't forget that it is in the middle of one of the densest residential areas of Los Angeles.
The apartments and homes that spread away from Melrose are some of the most coveted in LA for the young and ambitious. This is a see and be seen neighborhood and the neighbors you have may make the difference between success and failure in this town of "it's not what you know, it's who you know".
Of course there are the staples of a Starbucks or Coffee Bean every other block for the entire stretch and the prerequisite hamburger joints but, the personality of this place comes from places like the Snake Pit, a dive bar if ever there was a dive bar. The Groundlings, sketch comedy at it's finest. The secondhand shops and the overpriced trend turnovers which burn bright and disappear like shooting stars on Melrose. It's like that here, you're either an institution or a shooting star. The entire town is like that. It's just obvious on Melrose.

"A fun street to drive or walk down!"
I love the energy of this street. It's a very popular street because of all its retails shops and places to eat. There are always people walking down the street and not scary type people, normal people. Some of my favorite places to eat are on this street.
