^ I regularly see international tourists walking around in the Old Bank District and Little Tokyo. So they get into that area just fine.

Driving over to Home Depot earlier today to pick up some supplies, I noticed 1027 Wilshire is well underway. They've shored up the site and dug down pretty deep. Don't recall seeing a crane, but I wouldn't think it's too far away. I didn't get any pics because A) I was driving and B) it looked like it would be tough to get a shot over the construction fence, and the fence netting is not the kind that's kind to cameras.

Oh, and Glo has given itself a new (to me) paint job. It's no longer baby shit green, but rather a not-as-bad-as-at-it-used-to-be-but-not-necessarily-aesthetically-pleasing tannish brown, with some green accent walls.
