I'll second that. He was the first person...that I'm aware of or can recall....at ssp to ever post rather up close pics of the clark hotel. I read recently that the owners of that bldg & their embassy bldg on Grand ave appear to have stopped renovation work on the latter. And I'm guessing their clark bldg still is in poor shape.
They are definitely working on the Clark Hotel, just at a snails pace. I live very close to there and I often see work crews coming and going. Not a ton of people, but they are definitely there. No external work as far as I can tell though.
Walked by 8th and Grand today. The entire lot is fenced off (though there were some cars parked) but they already started stripping away some asphalt on the Olive Street side. Also taped to some of the trees were noticed of tree removal and sidewalk improvement. Looks like 8th and Grand is nearing construction.
Brigham has a new post up on his blog about the new Ross Dress for Loss store on Broadway slated to open in the spring. Here are some photos he took of the newly restored facade. It looks great. Thanks Brigham!
NOOOOOOOO!!!! I swear everytime I see this picture it really makes me sad...It makes DT look like a truly world-class Downtown area, Imagine coming into DT @ night on the Gold Line around Chinatown & seeing this view of the new courthouse as well as the new 6th St Bridge. This definitely wouldve been a visual landmark and wouldve gradually brought the eye down from Bunker Hill to the lower structures of Civic center, Perfect Symmetry. Lost opportunity
yea that rendering got me excited too, it seemed that building would have been a pretty cool step in the right direction towards making DT LA appear even more unique and outside the box but instead we're handed yet another squared/box like building . . .
I saw that too the other day, but hesitated to post it here, fearing I might be rehashing month-old news.
