"Small and quiet street"

I am most familiar with this street between 3rd St and Olympic. South of Wilshire, it's a bit dirty and narrow. On Wilshire, the Southwestern Law School is on the corner at the Westmoreland corner. North of Wilshire, the street is a bit wider and is mostly residential, with a park and bowling lane nearby.

"Quiet street with light traffic"

I am most familiar with this street between Wilshire and Beverly. This is a pretty quiet major street with not too much traffic. Shriner's Children's hospital is also located on this street. There are a couple retail stores, but it's mostly residential. There's also a Chevron gas station and food mart on the corner of Virgil and Beverly.

"Residential street with a grocery store in Koreatown"

This street is mostly residential, with apartments lining both sides of the street. Towards Western Ave, there is a Korean grocery market that is open until 2am. I believe this is the only Korean market that it open this late.

"Residential street in Koreatown"

I am most familiar with this street between Western and Vermont. This street is the middle of a residential area filled with mostly apartments, a few condominiums and even fewer houses. It isn't the cleanest street, but it's not too bad, either. I wouldn't recommend it for children to play around, but isn't bad to take your dog out for a walk in the daytime.

This is a major street in Koreatown, which is filled with many restaurants, cafes, hair salons, grocery stores and retail stores. The street is congested with traffic for the majority of the day and best to avoid if you're in a hurry.

"Lots of traffic!"

This is one of the largest streets in Los Angeles and it is full of traffic during the normal rush hours. I've lived on this street and couldn't sleep at night because of how noisy it was thanks to the traffic. Nevertheless, this street has access to plenty of retail shops, restaurants and grocery stores and isn't a bad street as long as you don't live right of the street!

"Shopping center district in Glendale"

This is a busy street in Glendale filled with tons of retail stores and restaurants. There are two malls, Glendale Galleria and Americana off this street, as well as popular eateries and bakeries like Porto's Bakery. If you're in the area and looking for a place to spend the day, you'll find plenty of things to do here. Also down south of the street is the car shopping district in Glendale where you'll find multiple car dealers with some pretty fair deals.

"Quaint town homes"

This street and it's small streets in the surrounding area is a quaint and cozy area full of town homes. It's a great neighborhood for families with children and/or pets. There are multiple pool facilities to enjoy cooling down on a warm summer day or just lounge around.

"Absolutely breathtaking scenic route"

Traveling along the edge of California, next to the Pacific Ocean, this is an absolutely stunning scenic route. Travel by day and you'll see the sun glistening off the waves. Travel by night and you'll see a warm glow from the moon reflecting off the ocean waters. You can stop almost anywhere along the way and enjoy the beach. There are also plenty of restaurants and little stores to eat and shop at.

"Near the Hancock Park area, it's a great street to drive through"

6th St. in the Hancock Park area is a great, great, great street to drive through. The street is lined with trees on both sides and you really feel like you've stepped out of the busy city life of LA and are catching a glimpse of suburbia. It truly is a beautiful scene, especially when the sunlight hits perfectly through the branches and leaves. I LOVE this section!

"Dirty and narrow"

The part of this street that runs through Los Angeles is dirty, narrow and congested with traffic. You'll hit a few stores and eateries along the way, but I recommend staying clear of this street if you can avoid it. Although if you're going through the Koreatown area and want to avoid the major streets like Western and Vermont, but need to travel north or south, this is a good street to use because it has traffic signals as opposed to stop signs at every block.

"Cool little reservoir"

This street wraps halfway around a little reservoir that you don't expect to see in Los Angeles, complete with a jogging trail and ending at one of the two larger dog parks in LA and a community rec center. Go further west and you'll hit a great coffee shop called Lamill coffee and a new awesome restaurant called Reservoir. It's also one block south of Sunset boulevard where they have many stores and eateries.
