except for the small matter of the missing n, this sign is an improvement over the other wayfinding signs in the downtown area — note “broadway theaters” instead of “broadway th district” and “historic spring st” instead of “spring st hist/fin.”

i’d tell you where the sign is located, but anyone who really cares should be able to figure it out.

(i also have to point out this picture of a downtown los angeles reflection because i really love how it turned out. it was a good photography day.)

janice hahn wants to give the los angeles mall a makeover, and i’m not sure i see the point. i just can’t see how it will ever start getting any after-hours or weekend traffic.

revitalizing broadway is a different story, though. the momentum there is definitely building, including all sorts of residential developments.

you should also check out the great photos accompanying steve lopez’s article about nathaniel ayer’s visit to walt disney hall. (the article is great, too.)

tony pierce posted an excellent list of birthday freebies, to which i would add the free birthday cake at clifton’s cafeteria.
