I actually don't live near dtla....I did visit the arts dist several wks ago and drove by dt not long ago when going to another part of LA. I did use to work in dt, however...& I was born in LA, not too far from dt, too. Something about dt has long interested me....I think its role & condition for decades has greatly affected the image of LA in general.
But this is why I like posts in the dtla compilations forum that have pics/images, personal observations from ppl....an spper...who've recently been in dt itself, vids or articles about dtla, scoops on new devlpt, rumors about new projs.
I've noticed youtube vids where below them are over 200, 500, 1,000 or even 5,000 or more posted comments. Why ppl like leaving brief little messages or opinions in social media is for what reason?
this post is guilty of the same thing. I don't mind quips or short comments....it's just that they don't help give me a better sense of dtla, new info about it or, even better, an announcement that a new proj has broken ground.
I wish all posts in this forum were similar to the one from several wks ago...that was the one about work starting on the new onni apt tower at Olympic & Hill. Even better, it came with pics.
I admit when I drop by here, that's what I'm always hoping to see. When I don't, yep, I feel disappointed. But, ok, that's just me.
