Leimert Park Village is both a bustling shopping district and cultural mecca, known as the breeding grounds of musical legends, such as Ella Fitzgerald and Ray Charles; a neighborhood holding reminiscent of Greenwich Village with its unapologetic counterculture movement, assortment of Mediterranean pastiche shops and cafes along Degnan Boulevard that since its inception, has become an oasis of African American art and music - it is only fitting that this very neighborhood nestled between Hyde Park, Exposition Park and Baldwin Hills, has become appropriately dubbed as The Soul of Los Angeles.
