In the area around the R-C, which is called "LA Live" and seems to be mostly about sports and concerts,
it seems that every building is also a billboard
or an LED screen. This one works overtime.
It got our attention, but after a bit it slipped into the landscape.
We had dinner later at Patina, which is next to Disney Hall,
arriving in the hotel's new Mercedes 550 (no picture, unfortunately).
The area around LA Live is full of LA history, mostly preserved by these helpful posters.
The Figueroa Hotel and the theater across the street, with its startling motto from
the Reformation (often wrongly attributed to St. Augustine), could have slipped right by us.

Nearby, "Levitated Mass"
Somebody was proposing, and "Marry me" was disappearing as fast as it could be written.
We headed for the LA Museum of Natural History, where there is a huge
exhibition of Iberio-American folk art, some of very sophisticated for "folk art," however.
Wild animals; some of the work, as below, was just wild.
Baroque influence takes lots of forms.
