Interesting the way that colorizing b&w images does make them seem more modern. the only thing in that film clip that I wish were still in existence is the old atlantic richfield bldg on Flower st.
As for most everything else, to be honest, it was not ideal for a big time city. That's why ppl in the past weren't singing about leaving their hearts in LA or crooning, LA, LA, it's a helluva town.
meanwhile, covid-19 is putting a crimp in cities throughout the world, dtla being no exception to the rule. I hope that won't cause too much of a downer when this proj is completed later this yr.

Although Little Tokyo was quieter than usual in late March, construction of the Terasaki Budokan on Los Angeles Street continued. “There were so many points in the course of this project that we faced one difficulty or another that we thought we would have to abort and jettison the project, but now we’re so close to the completion of construction that we can’t let even a global health crisis stop us,” said Little Tokyo Service Center’s Mike Murase, director of the community gymnasium’s fundraising campaign. “Thank you to the construction workers from Walton who continue to work through rain and virus… and to so many people in the community who’ve stuck with us.”
