That stretch of fig used to be one of the weakest parts of dt, but of LA in general. Ppl visiting events at the convention ctr, esp if they were out of towners, had a fairly weak impression of LA at that time. More recently....or since the late 1990s....ppl also visiting Staples ctr & LA live too.
One visitor to LA for the annual rose bowl about 2 yrs ago said that in the past between Pasadena & the UCLA area, there was nothing welcoming to tourists as a place to visit or for their hotel....but that has since changed with improvements in dtla.
Long time in coming....but better late than never. even things like this didn't seem to become more established in LA... esp dtla....until not too many yrs ago....

As long as it’s not raining, rooftops are the place to be nearly year-round in LA. After all, the city practically invented the concept, with The Standard, Downtown LA opening one of the first back in 1999.
Ask a local and they’ll tell you that for a city this size, there aren’t as many rooftops as you’d expect—though there are still plenty to choose from, ranging from laid-back to glitzy depending on your mood. Downtown has the highest concentration, not surprisingly given the amazing skyline from that vantage point. The best part about the LA rooftop scene though is that it’s accessible for everyone: The lines aren’t (usually) long, and there’s always a diverse mix of people that speaks to the diversity of the city overall.
