At Hollywood and Vine in Hollywood, CA. LA's oldest skyscraper is getting renovated -- a total re-do. And then they went and installed these giants billboards on all 4 sides!!

	craig1black says: cinemafia: No kidding!!! I think the new W Hotel will be finished faster than this damn thing. It seems like the progress has slowed to a snail's pace. Glass isn't all on -- and the interior isn't there at all. I just wondered what those big white things were. I speculated with my coworkers they were for ads, but they said "That's impossible." And sure enough, big ads! Who would pay money to live inside a giant billboard!! The building would have looked nice if it were all blue glass. doug911: I saw them putting up those white things the ads are on, and they look very permanent. They are held away from the building with a metal structure. We though at first it was going to be balconies, but then they put the whilte thing on. Who knows... anll I know if those middle apartments/units will have a good chunk of their view/light removed by these things. Posted 2 months ago. ( permalink )
	cinemafia says: Knowing CIM, they will keep putting the ads up...they keep putting them on the north and east faces on mine, which makes it impossible to get any good shots out of the windows. And, speaking of things that will never happen, is that sushi place next to the Cineramadome ever gonna open? ;-) Posted 2 months ago. ( permalink )
	craig1black says: No shit! I looked in the other day and it looked like work was progressing..... But who knows. And with The Waffle finally opening, it seems business might be waffling .. haha. At least the lunchtime rush seems to have died down. I was unimpressed with the food myself. Pricey and greasy. The waffles are good, but so expensive. Posted 2 months ago. ( permalink )
	cinemafia says: Yeah i read a review of the Waffle that said pretty much the same thing...decent stuff, but overpriced. At least it's a 24h alternative to Denny's, though. Posted 2 months ago. ( permalink )
