DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — A tiny abc7.com piece today reminded me that last night the clock on the Eastern Columbia building was relit. The Downtown News ran a brief about the then-upcoming ceremony in this week's issue. I'll have to see if I can get a picture of that over the weekend.
Update (midnight): Shannon beat me to getting a photo. I've added one of hers to the post.
