Alter Baltimore

Baltimore, Los Angeles

Hear ye, here ye. The gentrification of Los Angeles Street has begun. Following up on the 5th Street side of the building, work has started on the L.A. Street side of the Baltimore Hotel.

I wonder how the color will fare. The Baltimore has been a grey "color" for years, and we all know that grey is the exterior paint (and other construction material) color of the moment. Stay or go, gray or no?

Baltimore roll up door no more

I have mixed feelings about this new mural on the backside of the Baltimore Hotel in the low-lows of Downtown Los Angeles...it livens up the building at the expense of the old painted sign advertising the hotel. No more sign. This looks like the work of JR.
