they built an outdoor set recreating an entrance to tompkins square park for nypd blue on the parking lot outside my window. they’re breaking down the set right now. if i’d been on the ball earlier today, i would have taken a snapshot while they were still shooting.

there are a number of old theaters in the downtown area (mostly on broadway). turn some of them into single-screen movie theaters using digital projection. the first one to set up would be a theater that shows spanish-language films. (why doesn’t los angeles have any theaters that do that?)

i bet it’s an idea you could get robert rodriguez to invest in.

if only i were a business school student looking for a business idea to develop as part of my studies.

in fact, the los angeles conservancy has a broadway initiative to develop the area. hmm, i think i’m due for a donation to a local charity….
