The other trick is that I've heard they are securing massive amount of parking in one of the enormous vacant lots nearby. They are targeting the buildings across the street for redevelopment as well as the theater and plan to build a mini entertainment district.

Speaking of the South Side, L.A. Fitness to Expand to Douglas
The 40,000-square-foot fitness center at the northeast corner of 35th Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive will open in the spring. I hope the owner, Draper and Kramer, still pursues adding 7,000 housing units to the neighborhood.
