the mexican war streets

another favorite...the mexican war streets. my favorite set of streets in the city. my sister actually introduced me to them during her first visit here right after we moved. i love walking them and escaping behind the lens. the homes are eye candy sprinkled with such history! enjoy the feast on your eyes...

every home is unique and different from the next. the doors here are very popular and you can find artists selling snapshots and compilations of these doors down on the strip.
