Blast From The Past: LAPD HQ Construction
I was going through some of my earlier blog posts, trying to fix images and videos that broke when I moved my blog-site to a new service provider, and I was blown away by some of the 1 year old pics and videos looking out of my window towards City Hall.
When I moved into the Higgins Building in April 2007, there was nothing but a “big hole in the ground” to the north of me, with beautiful views of City Hall, the park in front of it with the grassy area and nice shade trees, and the mountains looming in the background.
I honestly did not realize what I was in for, as far as construction noises and how fast my view would be blocked. Would I have still moved into this unit? Most definitely. Am I grateful for the owner renting to me? Most definitely. Am I glad I don’t own this unit? Most definitely. (On a side note, I understand this is PROGRESS and views get taken away- at my beach house I was lucky for 9 years as the house below me was a “tear-down” waiting to happen, and block all my views… the only guarantee of a view that you have is if sand is your front yard).
In retrospect, I wish I had taken “time-lapse” photos throughout the year, with camera in a fixed position, but that did not seem too important at the time. So these pics are rather crude, but I hope you too will marvel at this constructino project as it progresses…
COOL! thanks for the photo show =)
