It was interesting that while one side of Cordon's Market had some stunning work on it (click here to see it), the opposite side, which wasn't even fenced in, was barren.
No longer. Within the past couple of weeks, two big tags went up on the east side of the building.

At the corner of Hollywood and Western (right across the street from the Metro stop), a strange confluence of art, architecture and bureaucracy exists, for a while at least.
Most of the time, a large Retna and El Mac painting on a wall doesn't have to compete much with the building it's painted on, but the yellow, four-story art deco structure is striking on its own.
S. Charles Lee designed the building, which was built in 1928, and named a Historic Cultural Monument in 1988. Lee also designed the Max Factor Building, the Vogue Theater and several other buildings around L.A. still in use.

Three large tags on a wall in an empty lot. Painted some time in June or July?

Across from the closed down Cordon's Market they are playing backgammon in front of a coffee shop. With very tiny dice.
