Wrought iron dinosaur statues line the pedestrian thoroughfare of this landmark Los Angeles shopping area. Just blocks from the beach, you and your grandchildren will enjoy walking around this open-air mall whose streets are blocked off from traffic. Street performers and vendors with carts selling jewelry and novelties add to the carnival atmosphere.
