Photo of the day: The hole downtown Posted on August 6th
The site of a proposed federal courthouse in downtown Los Angeles, and one of the slowest-moving construction projects in the city. Also one of the larger man-made holes you'll see in L.A. For the better part of a decade, it was the site of a vacant state office building. The federal government began plans for a new courthouse there in 2000, and owns and maintains the site, but has not set a date to begin construction. Gene Gibson, a spokeswoman for U.S.General Services Administration, told L.A. Land the GSA anticipates the project will proceed in fiscal year 2010. -- Peter VilesYour thoughts? Comments?
