La Brea Tar Pits || Exploring Los Angeles || Episode 9

Have you heard of the La Brea Tar Pits? Did you know they were right in urban Los Angeles? Somehow I missed that part... until I went to see them for myself!

The tar pits are in Hancock Park and are an active research site. The fossils that recovered there provide a record of the animals that have lived in this area for the last 50,000 years.

While in the area, we also visit the Original Farmers Market. The Original Farmers Market is a historical location that is home to many different shops, restaurants, food stalls, and grocers.

This video was filmed in Fall 2022 and I am just now posting it. So, if you see a small bit of Fall décor and hear a few comments about it being pumpkin ice cream season that's why. I mean, isn't it always pumpkin ice cream season though?

------------------------------------------------

I've decided to make a series about all things Los Angeles. Why? Because I LOVE Los Angeles. Although I wasn't born and raised here, I want to share all of the amazing things this city has to offer. With that being said, welcome to Episode Nine!
