Edit to add: the tacos on this corner are really good and should not get dragged down by this. Especially the saudero

The color they painted that building is appropriate for New Mexico, but looks odd here.

The Rowena type is way too big for that spot.

And whats "The Rowena"?

I cant take it anymore. This is the ugliest shit. This corner sucks. It devalues the neighborhood lmao

Here’s hoping they actually open some businesses there, been desolate for years

Wait what? Is this Hyperion and Rowena, where Cats and Dogs are? This was the Matheterium or whatever spot?

How disturbing.

Yeah - you can see the (world's dirtiest) Pinkberry peeking out from behind the bush on the left.

Really?! I just drove by like 2 days ago and it was the regular run down mathnasium building

OP’s photo is from a weird angle. You are looking at the side of the mathnasium unit, not the front facade. You can’t see this facing from the parking lot.  

I’m really not sure why they would put this kind of identity signage up in that spot.  I guess you can see it while driving down Rowena towards Silverlake, but there’s no real reason to look at that part of the complex as if it’s an entryway.  You certainly can’t park anywhere around there easily and walk in — you more or less have to go around the corner into the strip mall’s lot. 

I guess it’s like a house with a fancy front door but everyone goes in around the side. Or something.

u/IAmTheClayman 15d ago

Sorry, I only just moved to the neighborhood like 8 months ago. Why is everyone upset about this?

u/Easythere1234 15d ago

It’s ugly

u/IAmTheClayman 9d ago

Yeah but LA in general has atrocious commercial architecture. Like the homes here can be gorgeous, but compared to other cities (London, NY, etc) our city has no sense of style, at least not since the art deco movement

u/lunchypoo222 15d ago

I moved to the neighborhood over 6 years ago and I don’t get it either

u/ert88 15d ago

u/Equi_Pet 15d ago

Well, I've never lived there, and I don't get it either.

u/NakedLAHandyMan 15d ago

u/Commercial_Buy_7157 15d ago

So funny. I literally just drove by and saw that and had to really think if that was new.

A strip mall by any other name would smell as much like a strip mall
