0:23:49 > 0:23:52and, although I'd only seen a small part of this vast country,
0:23:52 > 0:23:54I felt like I'd uncovered
0:23:54 > 0:23:56some of the magic behind the American dream -
0:23:56 > 0:23:59the ordinary people who shape its landscape.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01THEY GRUNT AND GROAN

0:24:42 > 0:24:43Later that evening,
0:24:43 > 0:24:45I headed downtown to the Spring Street district,
0:24:45 > 0:24:47which is home to the LA Times.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52The area used to be the financial centre of Los Angeles,
0:24:52 > 0:24:56but, during the 1980s, the district plummeted to become a neighbourhood
0:24:56 > 0:25:00with a reputation for high unemployment and derelict buildings.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02It reminded me of the streets I grew up in,
0:25:02 > 0:25:08and how its reputation meant we were cut off from the outside world,
0:25:08 > 0:25:11so, before I left, I wanted to give Spring Street a lasting memory -
0:25:11 > 0:25:14something that would live with the area for ever.
