Watts Trippin'

A trip to the trippy Watts Towers with actress & artist Dawn Akemi.

She had plenty to say about them too, but this, along with the original score, has had to be ditched in an audio-swap (to "Mission Improbable" by David O'Brien) to satisfy YouTube copyright rules.

@fack2145 Grand Theft Auto? Yeah, we had that feeling driving in and out, but the area round the Towers seemed nice and quiet, and the Arts Center itself was downright welcoming.

Awesome interchange @ 0:45!

@Freewayjim Isn't it just? I was thrilled to discover it's the largest in the nation if not the world: the Harbor Freeway Interchange where the 110 meets the 105.
