I had to go back to get another shot of this sign, because I wasn't happy with my other ones. I could definitely do without all those other signs in the background, but that's urban blight for you.
Note: Goody's is now closed. They moved to another location after their rent was increased. Smart landlord. I hope they are going to be allowed to relocate their sign as well.

Opened in 1926, the Orpheum is the grand dame of theatres on Broadway in downtown Los Angeles. Originally a vaudeville house, then a movie theatre, then a live performance venue. Now it's used for private screenings, special performances and for location shoots.
Three million dollars was put into a restoration, making it the best-preserved theatre in the Historic Core.
