L.A live and Park Fith. I would say Grand ave but it seems to far into the future. Im not looking forward to that. Well at least not right now

Why the hell is that gonna take so long? They can put up 1 million square feet in 38 stories here in Las Vegas in just under a year. I know it's Gehry but tell him to get off his ass and get crackin'! :bash:

That is actually three projects :ohno:

I love LA VIVE!:banana:

Agreed. Grand Ave is one of my favorite projects but its too far into the future. Actually I have three favorites and those are L.A. Live, Park Fifth, and L.A. Central.

^ Technically 4! but who's counting, right?:pepper:

You like Park Fifth, but not Grand Avenue because that's too far in the future? Grand Avenue is supposed to break ground in the beginning of 2008 isn't it?

But we agree on the top projects, so it's all good!

If you reread my post, I said Grand Ave is one of my favorite projects. I read an article in the paper a while back that the entire Grand Ave project won't be finished until 2018. But this project is well worth the wait.

^ OK let's not get too technical LAN? Take off the boxing gloves!

1) I'm looking forward to the Expo Line, so I can actually get DT from the Westside without getting serious road rage.

2) I'm looking forward to LA Live, because it's getting so close to being a reality that I can taste it!

You did say that. I apologize for misrepresenting your position.

No problem.

LA LIVE and LA LIVE

Couldn'tve said it better myself. :okay:

Is it me or does anyone else not like the NAme L.A. LIVE???

We should rename it to Chick Square or
S.P. Square or something,,
L.A. Live is sounding tacky now!....

The whole area should be named The Epicenter. Sounds fitting, doesn't it?:)

^^ L.A. Live sounds authentic....

Now about Angel_________?

Angel City.....Corny*:ohno:
Angel Town.....Sounds like a gang*:ohno:
Angel Plaza..... Sounds like something in the OC*:ohno:
Angel Promenade..... Hell no*:ohno:
Angel Fashion Center..... Too cartoonish*:ohno:

So as you can see, L.A. Live will stay!!!!:bash:

hey im feeling the angel town

:angel:

but LA live :down:

LA Live is fine... projects entertainment in the capital of entertainment.

For me is LA Live and Grand Avenue. I really believe these two projects alone will put LA on a higher stage.

LA Live is fine. Live = happening right now. LA is happening RIGHT NOW.

Angel Town? Wtf?

L.A. Live is perfect. I don't see whats wrong with that.

L.A Live sounds good enough.
1. LA Live
2. Park Fifth
p.s Someone do something at 8th and Fig!

Mine:

1) LA Live
2) Grand Avenue

Although I'm anticipating all of the projects, the 2 that stand out to me are:

1) L.A. Live
2) L.A. River Restoration Project

The reason for me mentioning the LARRP is mainly because once they finish beautifying the L.A. River, it would literally be the end of an era. Ever since my grandfather's time in L.A., the river was basically a extended concrete ditch that only served one purpose. The completion of the river shows that our city has "evolved" and the L.A. of old is a thing of the past, along with the Grand Avenue Park and L.A. Live Projects.

My only complaint is by the time they're done with the project 100%, it'll be a half a century and I'll be 70 something years old. :-( Maybe at least I can feed bread crumbs to the ducks if there's gonna be any?

Got to join the majority and say:

1. LA LIVE
2. Park Fifth

Park Fifth is going to be a amazing project. L.A. will have the tallest residential building west of the Mississippi.

For me?
1. LA Central
2. Metropolis

Mega projects like LA Live and Grand Avenue are already the centerpieces. But you really need smaller projects in the periphery to make it truly work.

LA Central, and Park Fifth.

as far as what might happen, the Zen tower.
as far as what won't happen, the first version of the City house, (the 61 story) that tower would have been a spactacular addition to South park, I think that of all that is proposed, this tower has the most Los Angeles style.
