Please stop saying that LA is trying to copy other cities. Were you born in New York City? Besides, this kind of stuff is NOT, I REPEAT NOT, exclusively for certain cities.
As time passes, companies will likely add they're advertisements to South Park buildings, including the Staples Center along with the rest of the Convention center. And before you know it, we will make our very own Entertainment District a reality.
