Thanks. Downtown LA is a really strange place.They leveled pretty much all 
of the 
Victorian/Edwardian section and replaced it with skyscrapers. But there
still is a large section around the Bradburry Building (Blade Runner),
that's frozen in time, decaying like old Miss Haversham's mansion in 
Great Expectations. More to come!
