In SF, you not only have all the brand name and designer stores, but, also, you have the Embarcadero Mall, the new SF Centre, two movie full movie theatres and, of course, the big tourists draws (like the Powell Street cable car).

Unless you just didnt post pics of it, it looks like you missed the South Park district of DTLA. South Park is where many of the restaurants and entertainment venues are, especially when LA Live opens.

Great pics by the way.
