    As exemplified by this recent Sunday morning stroll [​IMG]




    En-route

    The building I would enter

    Parking structure

    Up the elevator



    The view (window was dirty)

    New York New York!


    Going out for a stroll




    Old and New side-by-side.



    Those new, cookie cutter lofts with weird colors seem to be on the rise











    There was some cool artsy stuff



    Staples Center/LA Live and other venues








    Nothing like a hearty American breakfast!


    Random project on the way home

    Nice pics, LA is improving and growing daily. Traffic is bad now, I can only imagine how much worse it's going to get.

    Yea downtown L.A. is really improving. I'm there damn near everyday. I have 2 cousins that live there 1 on 5th and Spring and the other at the Marketlofts. Everyone is tryin to move there but it's expensive. Apartments go for $1000 to over $4000.

    I heard the Nokia Theatre is great, I will go when the right event happens there. I can't wait for the center that will open next to the Nokia Theatre.It's going to have a movie theatre, restaurants, and some stores. Downtown will be the place to be in '08 when it opens.

    Nice pix Devan [​IMG] and Pantry's is the +#@+

    Thanks everybody. Yes, breakfast was at the Pantry, which btw is gold in the form of country potatoes, turkey sausage links and giant sourdough bread toast.
