What an amazing, and somewhat sad, difference between Old Downtown Los Angeles and one of the world’s greatest entertainment zones, L.A. Live. Only a few blocks away from one another, they provide a stark contrast and present an interesting thought to ponder…

What in my life am I allowing to decay right now that some day I will look at and try to replace with something ‘better and newer?’ I doubt anyone in L.A. intentionally turned their backs on the beautiful theaters and terrazzo sidewalks of old downtown, they just didn’t keep them sharp and fresh and eventually they looked at it and decided the only thing to do was start over 5 blocks away. I don’t want anything in my life to see that fate – if it is worth having, it is worth my attention.
