What better to represent LA than a once-thriving boulevard now boarded up right next to the the great destroyer, the 10 freeway? Instead of re-focusing Adams around street life and local business, we instead turned it into a racetrack for bored car drivers trying to skip traffic on the 10. This pattern exists all around the City of Los Angeles - pick an area and you'll see it's former grand civic concourse degraded into a fast food automobile slum.
