Insult to Injury on La Brea's Tree Kill Lane



It's not bad enough that the lush trees on La Brea were chopped down earlier this year (leaving nothing but ugly stumps up and down the street), but now, the American Academy of Dramatic Arts building -- which had previously been covered by the trees -- has painted its La Brea campus a puke-y burnt orange.



Too... much... orange. Why was that necessary?

Granted, I'm still getting used to the stark brightness of that part of La Brea (not to mention those naked stumps) in the wake of last October's tree massacare.



Here's a reminder of what went down. As you can see, behind the trees, the American Academy of Dramatic Arts building was a deep olive color. Not sure that's much better (what's with these Crayola 64 box colors?), but it's still not as out of place as that burnt orange.
