Article also talks about wanting to move County hall and the courthouse to Chinatown to make way for the civic park on Grand Avenue. That is a fantastic idea. Although it may be moved regardless due to all the earthquake damage from Northridge quake.

By the way, since Thom Mayne is out of the game, I hope Related Companies hires someone like Toyo Ito.

:cheers: Awesome. It looks sweet building.

that is great news. Los Angeles Beauty on SSp has been the champion of this cause, writing letters and meeting with politicans and developmers to persuade them to move the two buildings to make the park Grand as it should be.
