Wilshire Blvd, Westlake

... and I don't think that it will make it. When I think of MacArthur Park, I think of dirt and concrete. I'm sure at some point in time Macarthur Lake was beautiful with it's fountains in the middle. Now, the entire park is very poorly maintained. There's always plenty of kids running around playing, it's just that instead of running on grass they run on eroded dirt. The area is also pretty impoverished -- it always scared me to be walking around here at night if I ever needed to get on the MacArthur Park Metro Stop.
