I've been hoping someone would post photos of the site of the Tussand's wax museum next to Grauman's Chinese, which broke ground several months ago. But this video of work on it is even better:
The former parking lot directly next to Grauman's has been one of the major gaps on Hollywood Blvd, & in the hood overall. So to know it's finally being replaced deserves a round of:
Well they're going to go off the original blue print and since the Architect originally conceptualized the building as 12 Art Deco I don't think we need to worry. This is not so much an add-on, but finally finishing it.
Well after I voted yesterday I walked to Baja Fresh on Hollywood and took my camera so to show the progress of the Madrone and Fresh & Easy up and running.
Yeah, those Fresh & Easy stores have been popping up all over the place lately.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that Fresh & Easy seems to be going into lower-income neighborhoods, at least the few I've seen (kinda like Food4Less). Is that the case, or are they going up everywhere and anywhere?

They are popping up everywhere. They just put one in by me. Very convenient to get in and out of quickly. The few I have seen haven't been in a low or high income markets. They are pushing healthy foods and that they are environmentally friendly (not usually associated will low income markets). But they are also trying to keep food prices low, so high-end space is out.

OK, I was just wondering. The first one I saw was in the Glassell Park/Highland Park area some months ago, and I saw one in Norwalk 3 or 4 weeks ago when I was on my way to vote early at the County Registrar. I've also heard about one in Compton... so you can see why I thought what I did.

I checked out the Freshy in Hollywood a coupel days ago. I gotta say, I wasn' that impressed. I liked that they had a mix of name brands and private lable (unlike TJ's)....but to me it kind of felt like a communist version of Trader Joe's lol.
When the district was still changing, there would be posts all the time.
Now developments like the W hotel, Madrone, Paulihouse, Madame Trousades, and other developments don't really get updated with photos like in downtown LA.
Anyhow.
I havent been to hollywood in about a month.
How is the W hotel progressing? Is it at street level yet?
Didnt it start before the ritz tower at LA live.
the W is about a floor and a half above ground. That site is really massive! also, PaliHouse is now 5 stories tall i believe and the former Burger King (the Jefferson?) is working on foundation. The Vine Corridor is shaping up. You can really see how the 6200 Hollywood, the Whole Foods Building, the Academy Awards Museum and the numerous other projects on Sunset East of the Archlight will really tie the area together, making it a multifaceted urban area, not just one or two streets. I just wish the City of LA would contribute and clean the area up. New sidewalks, streets and non plastic street furniture, underground the wires and paint over some graffiti and the place would look 10 times better.

Now all we got to do is link all of the major business hubs in L.A. with light-rail and subway.
