Description: 
Skyscrapers and office buildings in the core of downtown Los Angeles, photographed in 2007. Downtown Los Angeles is the central business district of Los Angeles, California, as well as a diverse residential neighborhood of some thirty thousand people. During the day an influx of workers swells the population to more than two hundred thousand. Downtown is bounded on the northeast by Cesar Chavez Avenue, on the east by the Los Angeles River, on the south by the Los Angeles city line with Vernon, on the southwest by East Washington Boulevard and on the west by the 110 Freeway or Beaudry Avenue, including the entire Four Level Interchange with Highway 101.
