I am pretty sure the fabulous old Bullock's building is also torn down. Did you mean the Robinson's Department Store? It was next to Trader Vic's and it was torn down this past week along with Trader Vic's. You can see the Beverly Hilton in the background of the picture. I hope the old Bullock's Wilshire is never torn down. It's too much of a landmark. A sterile looking Waldorf Astoria will replace the 2 landmarks. They certainly didn't reference the New York Waldorf Astoria in designing the new hotel.
