El Centro District
Look for a shop that sells gear for people that skate
People that ride on a board and balance their weight
The sport was made famous by superstar Tony Hawk
Roll to this shop, don’t drive, run, or walk
Las Plazas Arts District
You’ll find this heart in a place that may be part of your routine
In a monument to a sought after bean
This bean is sold in an orange box
But to get your caffeine, remember money Talks
Union Plaza
You would come here to beautify your hair
Find the heart here and look perfect for your love affair
So don’t give up, there is no can’t
It’s at a Salon named after a poisonous plant
Office District
This heart is hidden at a place of sweets
Known for breakfast treasures and treats
Just not pancakes, or waffles, like most
You fold and fill it but its thinner than French toast
Government District
To find this papel picado Valentine’s heart
Think of jury duty to start
If you fulfilled your duty as a citizen in court
You might soon find yourself at this corner bistro in short
