I was playing LA Noire earlier this week. I'm amazed at how spot on they got some of the areas.

Wow! How the demographics have changed. And also strange given its locale. One would think that the mix would have always been predominantly hispanic.

How can you tell that they're not?

Mojeda101 · May 13th, 2012, 01:01 AM

Anyone know why they demolished the hall of records for it only to be replaced with a parking lot? (The lot isn't there now but still curious.)

It was brand spanking new, they hadn't even finish demolishing the structures on the west lawn.
