Description	"Not a Cornfield", known originally as Southern Pacific's Cornfield Yard as well as Chinatown Yard property, is a 32-acre project created by artist Lauren Bon. Ms. Bon temporarily turned the industrial brownfield into a cornfield for one agricultural cycle. As of 2006, this field located just north of Chinatown and within half a mile from El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument, became known as Los Angeles State Historic Park. The City of Los Angeles dedicated it as Cultural Monument #82 for its role as the Southern Pacific's River Station railroad yard. This photo was taken from an empty lot across the street from the field; a group of people can be seen sitting in a circle and four large, white umbrellas stand out amongst the green corn stalks. Photo dated: October 2, 2005.
