What/where are those tiny, white container houses they're frolicking around?

Homeless shelters near downtown L.A. at the time. Don't think they're still there.

Yuo are a bigtime hero to me now, walter.

That's them right? When I read "tiny white container houses" that's the first thing I thought of. They were an unmissable part of the downtown L.A. landscape in the mid to late 90s, since you could see them from the 110 freeway.

Looks like them to me.

what i wanna know is if there's a full list somewhere of those in the photo collage of women and sisters and friends that adam yauch wants to send his love and respect til the end. I know chloe sevigny and drew barrymore are in there.

roxymuzak, Sunday, 7 December 2008 06:41 (sixteen years ago)

Some kinda Vegas hotel?

walterkranz, Sunday, 7 December 2008 06:41 (sixteen years ago)

Maybe Mandalay Bay? http://gayrealestatelasvegas.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/mandalay_bay01.jpg

Haha, don't ask how I know that but it's work related.

walterkranz, Sunday, 7 December 2008 06:43 (sixteen years ago)

that didn't exist at the time

gabbneb, Sunday, 7 December 2008 06:45 (sixteen years ago)

he's right.

roxymuzak, Sunday, 7 December 2008 06:47 (sixteen years ago)

Ah true. Plus the fact that the two buildings really look nothing like each other.

walterkranz, Sunday, 7 December 2008 06:50 (sixteen years ago)

It kind of looks like the Mirage too but that has horizontal stripes and the one in the video has vertical stripes.
