Bunker Hill is a neighborhood in Downtown Los Angeles. Originally, it was a posh neighborhood for white Angelenos. By the mid-20th century, most of the mansions were subdivided and home to a diverse, working-class population. Most were demolished in the name of "slum clearance" and today it is topped by high culture amenities and gleaming (if anonymous) skyscrapers. I explored in 2015 for my series, "California Fool's Gold." https://ericbrightwell.com/2015/12/12/california-fools-gold-exploring-bunker-hill/

An ink map that I made of Skid Row for "California Fool's Gold." It's titled "The Nickel," because that's what some people refer to the neighborhood as since it's centered on 5th Street. https://ericbrightwell.com/2010/10/25/califoronia-fools-gold-exploring-skid-row-hells-half-acer-aka-the-nickel/

The Toy District is a neighborhood in Downtown Los Angeles that is home to several toy sellers -- mostly wholesale. In the early 1980s, several Taiwanese, Vietnamese, and Hong Konger entrepreneurs began opening toy shops at the western edge of Skid Row.
