If you're looking for storefronts and alleyways, watch Reservoir Dogs, filmed here in Highland Park. It sounds like you need to study Alex Cox’s LA masterpiece: Repo Man.

That's half the fun of it. =] I recommend just riding around or walking or driving and discovering unique places on your own. That’s half the fun of it.

There's a jogging path around it, but a portion of it is also closed (like the Mariachi Plaza) due to Gold Line construction. The pathways through Evergreen Cemetary?

Or just the hill on Mott starting at Whittier and going down into El Hoyo. (If you don't know El Hoyo, you're not from Boyle Heights.) We used to ride that one on Tonka trucks as kids. The wheels didn't last too long after that. Another good shot would be at 6th and Camulos which offers another great view of downtown, but you may want to check in with the White Fence gang in case they still hang out there. But for iconic photos, the Sears Tower does well, as does the 6th Street Bridge, the Buddhist temple on 4th at Mott, and the Hollenbeck Park bridge. And don't forget the murals at Estrada Courts, Evergreen Cemetery, the older Odd Fellows Cemetery, and the Lorena Street Bridge.

Hell yeah! • Mission Street: Paralleling the river. Lotsa industrialness. • Hollenbeck Park: There's something about where the freeway goes over part of the lake and Boyle Avenue that's just totally and bastardly L.A.! • Sixth Street Bridge! • Sci-ARC Building adjacent the Arts District • The L.A. River bottom! • Staples Center and the Blade Runnerness of the Nokia Theater courtyard • Music Center courtyard and underground parking • DWP building • Grand Avenue downhill past the Central Library and the Biltmore • Bonaventure Hotel skyways Here’s my quick ‘n dirty location ideas, though some of them might not be lesser-known enough but what the hey:

The murals at Estrada Courts too, closer to Olympic and Lorena. There's always Hollenbeck Park as well. Those are just a few things I can think of for this area.
