Some of Los Angeles’ most visible landmarks — including City Hall, the Getty, the Capitol Records building and the new Wilshire Grand skyscraper — will light up in the hues of a Southern California sunset this week in support of the bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympics. The new 73-story Wilshire Grand in downtown Los Angeles conducted a test lighting of the building’s spine Monday evening and will join a host of other landmarks being lit up at night Tuesday through Thursday. Among the other buildings and landmarks to be lit are the Grand Park fountain, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Santa Monica Ferris wheel, Los Angeles International Airport and the Greek Theatre. Paris is also in the running to host the 2024 Olympics. To read the article in Spanish, click heretony.barboza@latimes.com@tonybarboza
