I appreciate all the positive feedback, it's what keeps me going. I talked to the guard outside of the Chase building next to 9th and Olive but he hardly gave me much information in regards to the tower. I went inside to see if I could talk to the manager of the establishment but apparently you need an appointment 2 days in advance, wtf? I wanted to know if he knows anything as to why the construction lot goes all the way around the building to hill. It was to my understanding that Onni bought the Chase building and with that in mind, I had hoped the manager could tell me if the second tower would be built there. Maybe I'll schedule an appointment in advance next time I go.
When I was walking Figueroa I walked into Figat7th. To be honest the only thing attracting attention was Target. The lower level was dead. Aside from a few people eating, it was empty. I couldn't snap any pictures due to lack of interest, but take my word for it. It was around 1:20, so I'm not sure if it was due to the time, but the only people I saw were heading into the Target.
One thing LA really needs to fill are the lots between 7th and 8th. If the Wilshire Grand is going to open up a big retail spot and with Figat7th getting bigger by the day, we can't have this across the street:
Oh, and I wasn't offered drugs this time, but I was followed between 8th and 9th going to 9th and Olive. Once you reach 8th, the atmosphere changes, and with less foot traffic, you feel much less safe.
