Good 'Neutral Ground' for Los Angeles?

[Jaxom Faux]

has the idea of ANYONE can shop here

it's also basically a global empire unto itself. i figure if marcone can be a freeholding lord the wal-mart execs had a fair chance as well, and they only care about the bottom line of business, not who you are

McAurther Park.

I'm totally serious. Big open place in the middle of the city, lots of police and homeless presence. Why? The homeless figured out less of them get "disappeared" if they stay in the park overnight. (no hunting for red court and ghouls) And the cops add a "don't show off in front of the mortals" factor.

Similar to a previous poster's comment about all Wal-Marts being NG, was listening to a DFRPG podcast last night and one of the developers (Lenny) mentions that in his own Las Vegas game, the entire Strip is neutral ground. The entire thing. That kind of opened it up for me - that it could be an area vs a specific locale.

I love it... any reason why?
I've made all UU churches ANG in my games.  Come one, come all...

But aren't most <1 refresh supernatural things hedged out of places of worships?

 That's pretty much the same reason that Centennial Olympic Park is ANG in Atlanta.

Correct me if I'm wrong but there are these large piers in Santamonica or somewhere aren't there? I think that would be really cool as it is surrounded by flowing water. Nobody says that neutral grounds have to be a establishment of some sorts. It totally can be a landmark or something totally unattached to anybody but the city...

How about the Convention Center?  I know it's a big place, but LA is such a large city and international hub that you might want to have numerous meetings going on at the same time involving entities that don't generally want to associate with each other.  The place is large enough that I'd bet some of the major powers would have permanent spies stationed there just to see who was meeting whom.

Plus, imagine the fun of having a clandestine meeting in the middle of something like Comic-con!
