The 2 vids on the old Union Bank bldg at 8th & Hill St both ran in late 2004...I vaguely recall watching the one filmed by Howser of KCET when it first aired, but now realize his tour dates back over 18 yrs...almost 2 decades ago! I feel old. The bldg to the left is another long vacant property, the garfield bldg. The vid below on that bldg was posted 13 yrs ago, yet today it's still vacant with tagging all over its walls. Another example of how bldg owners or investors sit on their properties for yrs or choose to finally clean & fix them up, or finally build something on vacant land.

^ The rooftop decks in LA tend to be more welcoming than similar areas on top of bldgs in other cities, esp cities where the weather for more months may be colder, cloudier, rainier, snowier.
