3553 S. La Brea, LA, CA. The last six characters are redundant; where else but LA, CA? As I wrote on the previous version of this site

"There is absolutely no reason, no reason at all that the world should not look like this today. None. Did we stop asking for interesting architecture? Did we all decide that things had to look stupid and boring or cheesy and ugly? No. Did we lose our faith in the future, the machine, the American vernacular? No. It was taken away from us by the people who thought it vulgar."

I think I was half-right. Styles changed; people tire of the old, no matter how new it looked at the time or how poor the replacement style may be. It was taken away, yes - but most handed it over without much regret. I blame hippies.
