I don't think many understand the importance and significance L.A. Live will bring to not only Los Angeles but also the world. Phase 2 of 3 is almost complete.

Downtown 11 at Night

Oh, and that no one would be able to just sit there and chill out and do some people watching or catch up with friends? WRONG.


These were taken close to 11PM, AT NIGHT!!! I want to emphasize how many people were walking about at this late of an hour.

Five years ago? It would be a GHOST TOWN. Not tonight, and certainly not when all of LA Live opens and as more and more businesses open up. Rivera, BottleRock, etc.

I call this the spill over effect


Going to and from LA Live on Fig


Going to and from LA Live by Hanover tower



Notice the amount of people on Fig by Flemings restaurant



Man! People just chillin' and hanging out. Relaxing, chatting with their friends or just people watching. I thought it was impossible???









And people enjoying a brand new Starbucks (one of the slightly nicer ones I've seen)












Lotsa energy and just people. This will be important when the area surrounding LA Live gets developed. It proves that people will come downtown - if you build it...














The Conga Room overlooking the plaza



Lotsa TV screens at ESPN Zone FACING the sidewalk so you can see all the action inside



LA Live is totally organic and it'll make much more sense when the area becomes more dense with infill.

Hanover and Concerto



ESPN Zone is now officially open and they have added outside seating for diners.



LA Live



The alleyway is packed



Again...people sitting down, relaxing, people watching, just hanging out.









A few other shots of LA Live






The RIVERA sign is up now at the Met Lofts - Looks like it'll be open next weekend



The Old Bank District block party! Very lively, fun, and tons of people around.
