Once the genie is out of the bottle on this, you can't put it back in. The area around 7th and Fig is going to be LA Live North...just 4 blocks from Pershing Square. Am I really the only one that sees that as a bad thing?
I live in the Historic Core and get to witness Downtown's positive trajectory every day. I don't for a minute think that the explosive growth of retail would somehow slow down if these buildings don't get sheathed in ads.

Wait a minute, isn't the signage district supposed to only be on Fig from LA Live up to Wilshire? I wasn't aware that it was going to actually go down 7th Street? I don't agree with making 7th Street into Times Square (although I am not against strategic neon signs being brought back like the old days of Broadway).
