I wasn’t sure what to expect with the designated Los Angeles Mall sign. One thing to consider was the adjoining buildings of employees and visitors, giving a clue to the clientele. Next was seeing the homeless park, atop the plaza.
Thus the difficulty keeping what could be a vibrant, cheerful and comfortable mall experience for everyone!
There’s a few shops, services and eateries available. Areas with tables and chairs provide quick dining and meeting spots. Maintenance crews were visible keeping up the plaza. Cameras, security guards and police also provided public safety for those who wish to venture within.
The times I’ve been here, I’ve not seen many people, perhaps because because of the lack of shopping possible. Couldn’t there be more attractive tenants as the shopping centers on Figueroa Street? Wouldn’t large signs then help attract shoppers from the high traffic 101 Freeway, beyond the lunchtime crowd from surrounding buildings?
I guess the local parking expenses may also be a deterrent!
The lost business is apparent and the fact that the restrooms were closed gives a sense of a mall in decline!
