		<description>I totally agree Jamie. We need easy, cheapish food in downtown. Especially at night and on weekends, I wish Saffron were open especially...</description>

		<title>Comment on New Landscaping Added to 606 S Olive Tower at Pershing Square in Downtown LA by Emily</title>

		<description>Thanks for the info! These small changes can make such a difference. I have some questions for you (or others) about Pershing Square: 

Are there any plans to revitalize it (as in complete remodel or even minor improvements)? I&#039;ve done a little googling and can&#039;t seem to find much. I realize that a full remodel is probably not feasible, but do you think there&#039;s anything residents can do to help reactivate the area? I know if I saw more people lingering there, eating dinner, exercising, reading, etc, that I&#039;d be more more inclined to do the same. It seems like if more people really used it, it would make it more of a real park. Yes, there&#039;s way too much concrete, but the park does have some attractive trees and sitting spaces--maybe it has the potential to become more of a meeting space like Washington Square Park or Tompkins Park. Also, on the website it says that yoga classes will be offered in May, but I haven&#039;t seen anything. Do you have any knowledge of this?

Last question: how did Spring Street get the city to approve all those flower pots and trees? I would love to see more of that on other streets and I wonder how that happens. I&#039;m sure it&#039;s harder than it looks though!</description>

		<description>Nice photos, Brigham! Any idea if their menu is vegetarian-friendly? Either way, it looks like a nice spot for a glass of wine after work (for those of us who work in the Financial District).</description>

		<description>Not all of the food courts stay open late or open on weekends. It&#039;s quite a shame that some residents, like myself, have to drive out of downtown just to get fast food. The point of being in downtown is to have it all there. Losing this Carls Jr. wasn&#039;t a loss because there&#039;s plenty downtown. If we lost all of the fast food joints it would be a huge disappointment. I love the restaurants too, but sometimes I want something quick and cheap and the mom and pop places aren&#039;t cutting it. There&#039;s plenty of room for all of it.</description>

		<description>Finally! Pictures look great, although when i looked inside from the street the other day, i noticed red chairs that look kind of tacky. Anyways, this will do wonders for that corner and is a massive improvement over the Carls jr. Any plans to redo the outside entrance area?</description>

		<description>So excited to see this corner activated.
This puts my shop (Clark&#039;s Gallery) right between two vibrant dining streets.  6th with great places like Urbano and and now Industriel and 7th with great places like Bottega Louie, Mas Malo &amp; more!  Let&#039;s hope the evening foot traffic along Grand and Hope continues to increase with new destinations, and ultimately some retail shopping for all those diners and drinkers!!!</description>

		<description>It&#039;s taken a long time for all the fast food leases to expire in the improving parts of Downtown so the new crop of restaurants could appear.  Enough food courts are still around in office complexes to feed those who are still addicted to fast food while allowing for new restaurants - which are open nights and weekends - to occupy prime corners and prime pedestrian paths.</description>

		<description>I agree Karin! I think it looks way better now. More buildings around Pershing Square and the Jewelry District (which I hope slowly disappears) should care about how their properties look on both the street level and the entire buildings themselves.</description>
