Driving back to Glendale after attending the shortest wedding in history (we were at downtown's New Otani Hotel by 11, and out by 1:15), we sped past the unfinished mess that is the Belmont Learning Center.
Frozen in time, the construction halted on the Belmont in 1999 after hydrogen sulfide and methane were found leaking to the surface. Experts figured out how to solve the problem and work was scheduled to begin again when... it was discovered that the school was built on an active fault.
Whoops again. But according to the L.A. Downtown News, construction is set to begin once again, with a completion date of 2007.
One big change: Now that "Belmont" brings up pretty negative connotations for the Los Angeles school board, the learning facility has been renamed. Kids, get ready to attend "Vista Hermosa."
