Underground Archeology

At the tail end of one of the tunnels is some "urban archeology" decorating the entrance by the escalators. Whoever did the design had a good sense of humor as everything is made to look like fossils made from found materials. Of course, given that the building above is boarded up and vacant, the fossils seem even more appropriate. The whole area should be lit up, but it's not, giving the dark area a slightly eerie feel.

The area is accessible from the escalators in the boarded up building at roughly 1500 Pacific Ave across from Thanksgiving Square. The other way would be from the entrance in Thanksgiving Square and head towards the yellow, yes, bright yellow, bricks.

The flash washes out just how dark this area is.
You can see the spot lights in the ceiling are all off.
