Cyn: Hello, hello and welcome to In Like Cyn. And today we’re going on an adventure – an adventure!
MUSIC BREAK
Cyn: Here’s my first co-star. Jason Long!
TITLE: Jason Long writer / actor
JL: Mr. Sexy is what most people know me by.
Cyn: Mr. Sexy? Hmm. I’ve never heard that one before.
JL: LAUGHING OFF SCREEN
Cyn: And here are my other two co-stars, right here. This is Robert Gold and this is Erikka Innes!
RG: This is Robert Gold in the house.
EI: Hello.
Cyn: We’re off to Santee Alley!
TITLE: Santee Alley!
Cyn: We are now entering the Los Angeles freeway system.
ANNOTATION: This show is all shot with my iPhone!
RG: You’re right, he sounds like that.
JL: Dolphin cam! Dolphin cam! Dolphin cam!
Cyn VO: Southern California has had a long romance with the automobile. In 1947, a number of influential urban planners created a comprehensive freeway plan to ease growing congestion. Other plans had failed but this one got the green light and construction began in 1950.
CUT
EI: So much cocaine, he did so much cocaine that he couldn’t stop chewing the air. So he was like – Erikka I find you very attractive. Yu-Yu-Yun.
RG: I find you very attractive.
Cyn VO: The 101 Freeway stretches from Washington to Oregon to California, crossing right through Hollywood to DTLA. It is also known as El Camino Real, The Royal Road. It stretches for a whooping 1,550 miles and ends in a town in the north in Turnwater, Washington. And in the south it ends here in the world’s busiest freeway exchange, East Los Angeles Interchange.
CUT
Cyn VO: The Town of the Queen of the Angels or El Pueblo de la Reina de Los Angeles was founded on September 4, 1781. Between 1890 and 1896 the population exploded from 11,000 to 97,000 and Los Angeles had established itself as a major city.
Cyn OS: (SINGING) We’re off to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz. We hear he is a wiz of a wiz if ever a wiz there was.
Cyn VO: The fashion district is a design, warehouse and distribution nexus of the clothing, accessory, and fabric industry in Downtown Los Angeles.
Cyn: The alley goes that way, the alley goes this way.
Cyn VO: The fashion district spans 90 blocks and it is the hub of the apparel industry on the West Coast of the United States.
CUT
Cyn: It smells like – sausages.
TITLE: Cynthia Troyer, screenwriter.
Cyn: I think there are sausages nearby. I don’t eat sausages.
RG: Here’s everything you want. Hats and sunglasses.
Cyn: Yes, but we’re not at Santee Alley yet. They don’t know. They don’t know. We’re getting there.
CUT
Cyn: Now we’re coming up on the Alley just up ahead.
JL: Whoa! Hair products. Hair scorching products. Burn your hair here. Burn your hair.
Cyn: Hair straightners are really important to a girl, and he’s dissing it.
CUT
Cyn: All kinds of cool shit. You can buy socks, you can buy underwear, you can buy bras. And now we’re here.
CUT
Cyn: You see this alley teeming with humanity. This is Santee Alley! And this is where we’re gonna go. Sometimes people refer to this place as Knock-Off Alley. But you don’t want to tell your vendor – oh excuse me, what is this a knock-off of?
TITLE: An Alley between Santee Street, Maple Avenue, Olympic Blvd. and 12th Street
JL: Yeah, somebody, somebody.
Cyn: Let’s go shopping!
JL: Alright.
Cyn VO: Designer showrooms and wholesale businesses are trade only. But the district is open to the public, specifically Santee Alley and the businesses in the surrounding area. If you are looking for higher end goods, many of the businesses on the west side of the district are open to the public on the last Friday of the month, for sample sales.
Cyn VO: The garment district was established in the early 20th Century. The district’s evolution into retail began in The Santee Alley. The Alley that serviced the back doors of the manufacturing and wholesale businesses. These businesses would open retail outlets out their back door for one or two days a week. These retail operations grew into full time businesses along four blocks and transformed the alley into a bazaar.
JL: Hey, Cynthia! They have selfie sticks.
Cyn OS: Oh yeah you could buy your own selfie stick and make your own In Like Cyn. But it wouldn’t be In Like Cyn ’cause you ain’t like me.
JL: Get it, get it.
Cyn: Spank it!

Cyn OS: War is not the answer, money is not the answer, clothing is the answer!
