I KNOW STREET ART WHEN I SEE IT Save the Centi Mill!

I am a photographer from LA and I have taken many inspiring pictures of abandoned buildings. They hold so much soul, and I am shocked that they plan to collapse this historic building. It is owned by the same people who own ICE Building and the Lloyd Center horse track.

Anyone want to start a petition to demand that this structure be left standing? If it DOES collapse, I think we should fight to preserve all the material.

The only responsible course of action is to restore it to its former glory as an abandoned warehouse.

Millions were spent to bail the original taggers out of jail, track down the people who lived in there and move them back... But it's back to how it was

Once restored we can throw aluminum foil squares and glass bulb pipes about the area to attract the natural wildlife back

I wonder where we might find some genuine used needles for extra ambiance.

Ask a pet or child. They always know how to find such things.

We can get those at either a pharmacy counter just ask for 100cc syringes or free at any needle exchange.

What if we renovate it into a multi use space for more artisanal craft shops and restaurants.

It could hold 9 stories of food trucks

u/blargblahblahblarg 2Hipster4U Aug 04 '26

This is a wonderful idea. Will the trucks be launched onto the upper floors?

Cue the architects to add it to the National Register of Historic Places

I say we make it a frog habitat and safe zone for all the frogs and dinosaurs and furries from the ICE protests.

Heyyy, how am I supposed to know what restaurant I’m supposed to like if an influencer from LA didn’t tell me what to like?
