Looking east on Wilshire Boulevard from a rooftop at Catalina Avenue, with Immanuel Presbyterian's gothic spire rising out of the crowd and the Talmadge behind it. The stream of humanity extends back past the Bullock's Wilshire tower and beyond Lafayette Park. Photo by Mike Dornheim via Mickey Kaus. Click on thumbnail for larger version.

Also: In Thursday's L.A. Times Calendar section, Christopher Reynolds draws on Wilshire Boulevard: Grand Concourse of Los Angeles (and comments from me) to muse on the boulevard's new pedestrian role.
