Then and now. Some things in LA really are eternal. Building & Safety is a lot more vigilant these days though, according to wiki, thousands of LA buildings now have subsurface barriers, ventilation systems, methane detectors, and alarms.

I believe it was. The exterior, with its glass-block banding, was massively satisfying (pun intended), but I never really liked the interior. It was just a little too cool, restrained and cramped somehow. I was always much fonder of the main-floor volumes of the Miracle Mile May Co.

Are Radio Walk and the Prospect Steps two different places? I'm getting confused again.

I do dislike the "security" fencing around so many homes. I don't even lock my door.

The Shakespeare Bridge showed well in Dead Again (1991)
