How much do we really know about the sixteen neighborhoods that make up Downtown Los Angeles?

In our busy lives, we often commute in, work, grab lunch nearby, and head home—without ever exploring the vibrant and evolving Central City around us. That’s about to change.

Join us for a 2.5-hour, hop-on, hop-off bus tour led by DTLA resident and community leader Hal Bastian, affectionately known as “Mr. Downtown” and “Mayor of Downtown.” With over 31 years of experience in real estate, video production, and civic engagement, Hal will guide us through DTLA’s commercial and residential developments, hotels, restaurants, parks, retailers, and even its most pressing challenges like Skid Row.

Expect a fast-paced, engaging experience filled with history, personal stories, and Hal’s signature humor. You’ll leave the tour a “dangerous expert” on DTLA’s 26-year Renaissance and its ongoing rebound from the pandemic.

3:00pm - Arrive at the meeting location in front of Settecento
3:30pm - Load the bus and tour begins
6:00pm - Tour ends near the iconic Los Angeles Central Library at Settecento for the Happy Hour.
