I mean, I know that LA likes to mess with its architecture and all (reading this forum is proof enough), but somehow I would have though that Olvera Street would be at least SOMEWHAT holy, and would be left alone.

I saw that during my visit to Los Angeles last month. I believe that may be a temporary structure set up to protect restoration work on an old mural that was painted on the side of that taller building there. The mural was talked about here briefly a while back, but I don't recall exactly when or any of the details. Anyway, hopefully, when the restoration is completed, that horribly out-of-context structure will be removed.
