My walk of the Flower District was cancelled by pouring rain last Wednesday morning, so I'll do it early Wednesday, March 11. I mean the original Flower District - WALL STREET from SEVENTH to EIGHTH streets. I'll interview storefront owners who are paying members of the real Flower District (largest wholesale flower district in the US), for my upcoming cover story for The Bloomin' News (see http://bloominnews.com/).
The "LA Flower Market" that started in the 1920s is still going strong. The shops on surrounding Eighth and San Pedro streets attract the public now, unfortunately, keeping customers from the real Flower District merchants, who are for the most part, hidden from view in the neighborhood of merchants that has sprung up around it. Check out the rich history of this District at http://laflowerdistrict.com/ . Public hours ($2 admission) are 8 to 10 a.m. -- Buy flowers on Wall Street and help your original Flower District survive. Wish for no rain for me on the 11th.
