We're one of the oldest performing arts venues in the city of Los Angeles . The Ford is a county facility and as part of that , the county actually invested about $80 million in the renovation of the theater and it's absolutely gorgeous . The Ford is super unique in that unlike any other amphitheater in Los Angeles , so the backdrop for every single performance is the hillside , unlike some other venues that actually uses the hillside to put the seats kind of against it but it is absolutely an amazing space .
And I will say that every artist sounds incredible no matter where you are . It was originally conceived as a theater space . So it was called the Pilgrimage Theater .
But what I love is that everyone gets along and anyone could be whatever they want to be . Well , I'm a painter so I love color and everywhere I go , if you can make something happen , like a mural or colored sidewalks or anything that kind of enhances your experience , I'm open to it and everyone feels safe there and they feel that they are with community . And recently we updated the crosswalk to be the progress flag .
This is so cool , Doug . I mean , it needs a good washing . We'll be right back with the record store that totally rocked my world .
So when you look at it , the Ford Floor is just as beautiful as anything else that's in the theater . So the acoustics of the space are incredible . You can hear a pin drop in here when there's an artist performing .
