I'm guilty of such actions. I never found interest in such buildings but when I saw the enthusiasm of the other posters in regards to the conversion projects, I was hooked. I didn't get a chance to do it last trip due to time constraints, but I'll be sure to go now that I know better parking lots to go to. I used to spend up to 18 dollars for parking due to how much time I spent in downtown. Once arrived at 8 AM, and stayed until 11 PM. Time flies when you are in Downtown. I promise to take a good look at the historic projects next time. I'm really looking forward for the Iphone 5s. Rumored to have a 13MP Camera, great improvement!
In the summer time I'll be there every other day. Hopefully by then, things such as the Streetcar, and the Barry Shy tower will be well underway and hopefully a project or two will have been revived(rooting on Park Fifth, Park Tower, and LA Central).
