One of my favorite LA landmarks is GONE!
The Ambassador Hotel has been leveled. It’s the hotel where Bobby Kennedy was assassinated and several of the early Oscar ceremonies were held there. It was a great, crumbling icon and provided an awesome contrast to the mid-wilshire that has evolved into K-town (cool, by me, I love LA and all it’s people, especially if they make delicious food, which, supposedly LA has the best the best Korean food in the world! delicious.). Anyway, I guess it’s good that it’s gone (it was basically condemned) and we can move on, but it’s sad nonetheless. Next time I make it over to The Prince for some soju I’ll shed a tear for the Ambassador and times gone by — and then I’ll go have some delicious bibimbap! I’m very excited to watch and see where LA will evolve to next!

I’m so sad. I’m not sure if I miss the Ambassador or the Prince more. Since I’ve never been inside the Ambassador and the Prince gives you free food, I’ll have to say the Prince.
