Neon has returned to Downtown's Broadway, the L.A. Downtown news illuminates.
Home to one of the nation's largest concentrations of classic movie palaces, Broadway is slowly regaining some of its luster, staring with the restoration of the Los Angeles and Palace theater neon signs.
Says the paper: The relighting is the latest turn in an ongoing effort to revive Broadway, whose collection of historic theaters once served as the epicenter of nighttime entertainment in Los Angeles. The neon was installed under the auspices of the LUMENS (Living Urban Museum of Electric and Neon Signs) project, a city-funded drive to relight local historic signage.
"We'd like this to be the beginning of a relighting of all of the Historic Core," said Kim Koga, who manages LUMENS and is also the director of the Downtown-based Museum of Neon Art.
