LOS ANGELES AND BEYOND: Los Angeles's indifference to its own history is infamous (and sometimes exaggerated) -- we built a lot of brand new landmarks this decade, but we tore down a lot of old ones. Here is Curbed LA's Oscar-style montage of some of the notable buildings demolished this decade. (The music, however, is in honor of the Carpenters' fans, still fighting the good fight to save the band's house in Downey.)
