Wow and wow....those links concerning The Chocolate Shop are great!
It's amazing how cities evolve (devolve) over time.
The Chocolate Shop's dreamlike interior now housing a cheesy arcade.
I'm astonished that someone with gobs of money (I mean...this is L.A.)
hasn't stepped up and rescued this architectural treasure.
I found Robert Miller's comment on site below interesting.

It's been YEARS since I've personally been in downtown L.A.
Is it still as bad as a 'rat hole' like Mr. Miller says?
In my mind's eye I had envisioned significant improvements.
