Pershing’s charm

Re “Another go-round for square,” Column One, Oct. 31

If Pershing Square is to have another update, so be it. But please, please, leave in place the undulating wall at the south end of the park, on which is inscribed memorable words by author Carey McWilliams, written after sleeping off a drunken stupor at the Biltmore Hotel.

It is quintessential L.A. I take my local friends and out-of-town guests there to read it. If you haven’t already seen and read it, you must!
