The Franklin Avenue blog has pulled together some fun info on several notable buildings around Los Angeles that sit empty or nearly so. My favorite is the monstrosity at 1100 Wilshire, an ugly 37-story tower made uglier by the 15 stories devoted to parking before you reach any offices. It's been a bust from day one in 1986.
