This month is Last Remaining Seats at the Los Angeles Conservancy, so I’ve been downtown a lot at night. This time I’ve even brought my good camera.
The Globe theater is no longer a theater and can never be one again, the floor was leveled years ago, these stores next door are what used to populate Broadway, and slowly will be moving away and replaced by upper scale shops. I don’t know what is in this store front now, but they went out of their way to reinstall the original marquee.
At dusk the neon is lit. The Rialto is also no longer a theater. This is the kind of store that is filling the store fronts on Broadway.
The Orpheum with the lights on.
Oops they need to fix the M.
This is one I should frame, I love the reflection, the street sign and the advertisement for the Bill Graham show.
The neon really sings at night.
The Palace, which was the original Orpheum.
DTLA at night is very lively on weekend, the great changes that come with revitalization.
