I would love to see how these so called 'plazas' have evolved over the years.
The 'plaza' on the left appears to be the roof of a parking garage.
I wonder if a pedestrian bridge was eventually built to connect it to the Bonaventure Hotel.
This is a good example of the banality that replaced downtown Los Angeles' vibrant street life.

this is the best that i can do with bing maps
as you can see, there is most certainly a bridge connecting the bonaventure. it's also quite a bit more crowded, (
it almost makes the image you posted rather pastoral).
here's a somewhat similar view from 1967, (
the castle and the salt box are still intact).
