Very nice photos, as always, pwright1! Looking at this thread makes me wanna ditch work and hang out downtown right now.

Very cool photo tour. I love downtown LA's historic core and it's great to see it revitalized.
Thanks pwright1. Also, curious: Does your handle here mean you are a playwright? |
This dense, historic urban fabric is not what comes to mind for many when they picture LA, but it's mighty impressive!
|
LA's Historic Core is a national treasure.

Amazing to see, incredible to comprehend.

Great photos of some amazing buildings. You guys are lucky to have a fully renovated United Artists Building. Ours is being turned into apartments, but the auditorium, which is very similar to the Los Angeles UA, is being demolished.

Nice!

Cool photos. Ever look at the LA Noir photopages? Old Downtown before this old Downtown didnt have many of the same buildings. Many were demolished for unwant or neglect or earthquake damage. Some were really handsome looking buildings. It would have been great to have kept some of the best ones but sadly they are not longer with LA.

Great architecture!!

Awesome. Great coverage.
I started exploring DTLA as a teenager in 1990 when the Red Line was under construction and at that time basically anything east of Hill Street was kind of a no-go zone. I actually got punched in the back of the head at about 5th and Broadway for apparently crossing the path of a really friendly homeless guy. Also stumbled across the aftermath of a drive-by at a gas station in South Park around the same time. All of these things obviously still happen today, but what you see now walking around are families. That's hugely important in terms of the redevelopment of the city. Bunker Hill still feels largely the same (though with a bit more pedestrian traffic), and South Park is basically another planet in comparison to then. The changes in the past 30 years (hell, in the last 15) have been nothing short of staggering. |
Really nice. LA will displace Chicago as the Second City.

I used to dream, and I used to vow
I wouldn't dream of it now We look to Los Angeles For the language we use London is dead, London is dead London is dead, London is dead London is dead, London is dead Now I'm too much in love I'm too much in love |
