Old First Ward, is the first neighborhood established in the City of Los Angeles.  It sits in the northeastern quadrant of the city, and is bound to the west by the Pacific Coast Freeway, and the original Central Business District to the south. 

The city underwent a transformation from elevated highways to avenues in most sections, and is currently undergoing construction to incorporate ground-light-rail avenues in newer neighborhoods, courtesy of the Network Addon Mods. 

As more commercial land was developed, half of the old CBD was rezoned high-tech industry to account for the increased demand and relocation of major offices to a more central location within the city's core activities.  Some of the vacancy is prevalent below, as is the conversion from elevated highway to avenue, and back to highway.
