city hall’s red color scheme wows downtown
This blog has moved to Twitter! Check out my twitter feed for the latest restaurant, retail, and cultural news in the neighborhood.
Tonight City Hall shows us it’s not a one-trick pony with a new vibrant red color scheme. Last time the iconic structure experimented with color, it glowed bright green, along with the LAX pylons and Griffith Observatory, to mark the Mayor Villaraigosa’s “Green Initiative.”
And this time? Some suggest that the iconic structure will shift red, white, and blue each day up until the elections on February 5.
What’s your best guess?
UPDATE: The truth comes out! The red lighting is in support of the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women campaign, to help spread awareness of heart disease among women. February 1st is “National Wear Red Day.” Also, Wilshire at Figueroa Tower’s middle crown ring is glowing red tonight to support the cause.

Lit shout out for final debates before Super Tuesday?
chinese new year!
The city’s looming municipal budget deficit?
City Hall is red in recognition of American Heart Association’s GO RED campaign. February is heart month. Heart disease is the number one killer of women.
City Hall may have new lights, but what happened to the Bendix tower and the neon blue radio tower? I looked up last night and they were gone.
I’m not sure how I feel about all the lights anyway, all things environmental considered, but they’re so lovely to look at.
I would have figured the red would be for Valentine’s Day. There seems to be a phallic thing going on.
