We've had this conversation before. West of 19th Ave and South of McDowell is pretty crappy. North of the fairgrounds is terrific. East of the fairground to 15th Ave (especially south of Palm) can be a little hit or miss (though Id still live there in a second) and East of 15th Ave is one of the nicest areas in the state.

Either way, lets hope the Coliseum stands for a long time and finds a use. I was reading recently about how the old LA Forum is now being used as a sanctuary for a mega church, that wouldn't be a half bad use for the Coliseum in the short run.
