THANK YOU! Since the number of new projs will be lower now & in the future, & since forumers (like me) don't live in DT, or visit there alot, it's gonna be tougher to keep this thread from getting bogged down in "smart ass" or troll or flame type of distractions. That's why posts like yours deserve a big

Tell me if the quality is too poor and I will cease to post in the future, at least until I get a better camera.

Only thing I wanna say is: what took you so long!!??? Your pics are some of the best I've ever seen here. I esp like that they include shots of work that involves both the totally new & renovation. So it's fantastic seeing the rising construction of LA Live or Concerto, & the cleaning up of bldgs like the Judson & Brockman.
Even this is good to see, & news worth noting:

Former Rite Aid storefront (note see-through security gates!)

Steel tube bar gates do look way better than solid shutter gates. Broadway & any other street in LA, inc Hollywood Blvd, wouldn't look as oppressive at night if more stores used gates that were made of steel bars instead of interwoven panels.
And since totally new devlpt will be slowing to a crawl over the next yr & beyond, other types of changes for the better still can take place. For instance, a pic posted at SSC shows the view that ppl will have from the 3rd floor of the new hotel of LA Live:

The site across Olympic Blvd, north of LA Live, needs to be cleared out & cleaned up. It's also a location that is very visible when driving by on the fwy.
Less prominent, but no less important, is the site of the Grand Ave proj. In that case, demolishing the tinker toy parking lot, across from Disney, will be a step in the right direction. Even more so cuz it's long overdue, & long delayed!!
BTW, it didn't seem that long ago that the revised announced groundbreaking date for the parkfifth tower, some time around the 1st qtr of 2008, seemed way in the future. Well, here it is already March 08, & the 1st qtr is rapidly coming to an end.
