October 8, 2008: Waiting to Cross Wilshire
One of my favorite parts of LA is the drive from Beverly Hills to downtown on Wilshire. After you pass the museum and a mile or two of undistinguished office buildings, you start to see all these beautiful semi-rundown buildings. Lots of art-deco office towers and old hotels that have been converted into apartments, and some pretty newer buildings, like this one.

Wow, the clear blue sky & strange colours on the building make this look like it's a surreal kind of architect's drawing from the future- it doesn't look real!
sad comment: i looked at the buildings for two secs before seeing the Coffee Bean. Completely distracted, my heart skipped a beat for the yummy.
i just made this the background on my computer. freaking awesome.
I'm an architecture nut - great shot - awesome color!
This building is needlessly disliked by people here in LA. I think it comes from its restrained and minimalist architecture which seems to evoke Northern Europe. The side art is a great contrast to the rest of the structure.
