| - Seems like I haven't Yelp'd in awhile.
Well, shockingly enough in all the years I've lived here, today is the first time I've visited Commercial Center.
According to the website, this surprisingly used to be quite the place back in the 60's, 70's and 80's. It has the same ironic quality the Boulevard Mall has, once glamorous and filled with celebrities, now rundown, shells of their former selves.
Commercial Center is different though. Over the years, it has started serving many different purposes, such as having a collective of Asian owned businesses and serving as a sort of enclave for the local LGBT community.
It's a shame though, it's so grungy and the place just has a very lifeless, abandoned feel.
The many business owners in this place today do seem to be trying and it seems to mean a lot to our local history, so maybe a fresh coat of paint and some good scrubbing could do wonders. It could be restored to it's former glory if it's just made more aesthetically appealing.
