Did you know that there is a beautiful place behind Jon's Grocery? Take a virtual tour of Barnsdall Park. There are some great murals there and far ranging views in all directions. Frank Lloyd Wright's first LA project, Hollyhock House, is there, too. It was closed for a few years to repair damage caused by an earthquake, but just recently reopened. It's a quiet and beautiful place to get above the noise of Hollywood Blvd.
Here's a map.
