Has anyone seen these before?
About a week ago, I moved to Northeast LA (more on that later). Of course, I’m now taking new buses and trains to get home. I am fortunate to be able to choose between several different bus lines to get home from work, all of which pick up near Pershing Square at Hill & 5th […]
Stranger Danger in Koreatown
This afternoon, I was made aware of a series of four attacks that have occurred to women in apartment buildings throughout Koreatown. Eek! The first attack was in early November, with the most recent one occurring on December 30th. The assailant robbed all his victims, and sexually assaulted one of them. Today the LAPD released […]

I rode my bike to downtown, fighting the Santa Ana winds that flared up my allergies. Stuffiness aside, it was a beautiful day to ride bikes. The temperature was perfect and skies were clear. By the […]
This Weekend: Giving the Streets Back to Foot and Bike Traffic
If you live or play anywhere near Mid City, do yourself a solid and abandon your car this weekend. Giant portions of major throughways throughout Los Angeles will be shut down for special events. This means massive headaches for drivers. Expect delays that make you with the President was in town. Saturday, the Hollywood Half […]
Broadway’s Proposed Facelift
Downtown has undergone some rapid changes. I’ve been in LA for nearly seven years now. Back then, DTLA seemed to me to be a dismal place. Maybe that was in large part just my perception, but nobody will deny that the gentrification bug has bitten hard. I believe there are always pros and cons to […]
