It wasn't much, but I guess it has been 40 years. Nonetheless, at least a few people last week visited the Robert Kennedy Memorial Parkway (that's the stretch of Wilshire in front of the Ambassador) to recognize the 40th anniversary of Robert Kennedy's assassination at the Ambassador Hotel.
Above, a large portrait of RFK was hung on the chainlink fence outside the Ambassador construction site, while candles were illuminated underneath. Sadly, there was no remembrance inside the hotel, or the pantry where RFK was shot. That, of course, as you're well aware, is because of the LAUSD's move over the past few years to tear down the storied but long-vacant hotel.
