through the lens of self-care pop culture and building the best version of you.

So if you're looking for more ways to incorporate wellness into your life,

Hey and welcome to the Short Stuff I'm Josh and there's Chuck and Jerry's here too and this is

Short Stuff another Short Stuff this one a bit crusady and I think important.

That's right because if you have ever driven through downtown Los Angeles

there's a good chance you may have maybe on purpose or

maybe accidentally turned into the heart of Skid Row, which is a 50 city block area

roughly, in the heart of downtown that is something that happened

to me when I lived there and I had heard of Skid Row but I had never seen it and all of a

sudden I was in the middle of it and I was like, wow, I didn't quite know it was like this down here.

Yeah, we stayed nearby too and I don't know if we made it all the way there but you could tell it was very close by.

And the Hotel Cecil, which was made very famous by the death of

Eliza Lamb, is right there in the midst of Skid Row. And as a matter of fact, it's been turned into housing

for the people who live on Skid Row.

And Skid Row, we should say,

finds his origin the term here in Los Angeles.
