• Graffiti artists have tagged more than 25 stories of an abandoned Los Angeles skyscraper, KTLA-TV reported.
Renovations on Oceanwide Plaza stalled in 2019, and the building has been sitting empty. Daron Burgundy, a street photographer, said he had noticed taggers for the previous three nights.
"I could see people up on the balcony," he said, adding that he heard people were coming from out of state for the chance to tag the building.
"It's been wild to watch. It's not so luxury around here anymore."
LAPD has made two arrests and is working with district officials to secure the building. [KTLA, 2/1/2024]
