half a million dollar view

Tonight, as I was driving back from a swing dance event in Brea, I received a phone call from Celia. Instantly, for some reason, I thought she was calling to tell me that the ever beloved ‘Gina was finally open for business. No such luck, she was excited but in a different way. She was calling to tell me of the Rosslyn Hotel’s newly re-lit neon sign. Now before all those neon enthusiasts get their panties in a bunch, it seemed like the sole reason the signage was lit was due to a nasty word that begins with the letter F; Filming.

Eager to share this news with someone who would really get a kick out of this rare sight she immediately thought of Mr. Neon himself, Eric Lynxwiler. Within due time a small, highly gentrified gang of us were on the rooftop snapping various photos. I had my crappy digital. Both Eric and Jim had better equipment (don’t they always) and got better shots. Regardless this'll do ya' for now:

Added this morning, Dave Bullock's HDR shots put mine to shame. Oh well.

All things continuing as they are, LA may end up with one of the most beautiful Downtown areas in the country.

A place almost frozen in time....
