If you want to see his main Los Angeles murals, here's a nice easy route. This omits The Word and The Freeway Lady which are farther away and the murals destroyed on the freeways. It starts in the Arts District in downtown Los Angeles and ends in Hollywood. This is the most driving effective route. Nice places to eat on either end. You can add in Bob Hope Patriotic Hall but call for their hours.
