Ambassador Cam, #25

The demolition accelerated this week, as construction crews focused on the last remaining section of the hotel -- the middle part. By Friday, even that was mostly gone. I now expect the structure to be completely gone (with the exception of the Cocoanut Grove, which is being rehabbed) by end of next week.

And some shots taken from Catalina street on Jan. 11:


Not much more to see here...


Closer view... not much left but a few walls and a lot of asbestos!


Where the hotel lobby and the Cocoanut Grove connected.


Entrance to the demolition site for the "Central Los Angeles New Learning Center." I do hope they decide to call the facilities Ambassador High. (Although I suppose there's a good argument that it should be RFK High.)
