 ===Theme Building===
-There is an observation deck on top of the Theme Building, which has been closed since 2001. The [http://encounterlax.com/ Encounter Restaurant] located in the theme building was closed in March 2007 due to repairs to the Theme Building, but reopened on November 12, 2007. This location is generally considered poor for photography since it is distant from aircraft, except for airport overview shots, though it is good for spotters who just which to watch traffic or log tail numbers.
