Los Angeles Wall Crawl


By
 in ,

The Instagram essential: a nice wall. You know the kind I’m talking about. Artsy and intriguing, the wall adds interest to what is yet another photo of someone posing and smiling.  Wall murals, street art, graffiti, vandalism, whatever you want to call it — they are everywhere in Los Angeles.

Traipsing around Melrose, I recently stumbled upon the Infamous Pink Wall. Hoards of girls, dressed in the perfect ensemble while someone snapped away. I, of course, had to join in. And then across the street was another mural. As we kept wandering on Melrose, we discovered on mural after mural.

I’m going to make it easy for you. You don’t have to meander your way around LA looking for all those instagrammable spots. No siree. I’ve compiled a list (addresses included) of some (key word: some) of the best murals around.

So enjoy.

Take a camera.

And make that Instagram pop.
