"Fallen Fruit is an activist art project that promotes the concept of "Public Fruit" by mapping all of the public fruit in local neighborhood communities. Public fruit is defined as all fruit that is hanging on or over public spaces such as sidewalks, streets or parking lots. The group encourages everyone to harvest, plant and eat public fruit to advocate what can and should be a commonly shared resource."

As far as I can tell, LAist hasn't gone on record against prop 98 since last summer. What gives? Aren't many, if not most, of your readers LA renters who will find themselves utterly f'd if 98 passes? With the election weeks away, I can't fathom why people aren't making more noise about this.
Please please please put out the word to let people know what's at stake - the obliteration of rent control and renters rights disguised as an innocuous sounding eminent domain initiate.
No on 98!

Did anyone see two planes above L.A. today around 11:30 am that nearly collided? There was a large plane (airliner) and a small plane. The small plane was weaving back and forth around the larger plane...it seemed intentional to me. I saw it while I was driving on the 405 or I would have taken a picture.

Last month I was in downtown Burbank for an evening out with family, after dinner I stepped outside the restaurant and lit up a cigarette. Moments later my Girlfriend and I were approached by two police officers on bicycles, and cited for smoking a cigarette in a public area.
When the cops rode up on us, they said "Did you know you can't smoke here in downtown Burbank?" we politely said "No" and extinguished our lit cigarettes. Allow me to add, I am nearly 30 years old, I pay my taxes, I obey speed limits and I can't remember the last time I intentionally vandalized private property. I am an adult, as an adult I take certain liberties, one of which is enjoying a post dinner cigarette instead of simple warning, we issued tickets that cost us $200 each. While awaiting my arraignment, two people plead guilty to misdemeanor marijuana possession, and received a $280 fine. So, I could smoke an illegal substance, or a legal product, and receive roughly the same punishment
We live in nearby North Hollywood and frequent many shops, restaurant, gas stations, and bars in the Burbank area, or should I say we used to. I, along with anyone who I know will now avoid the city all costs.
Now, I understand all the risks and health issues that are associated with cigarette smoking, yet this law is solely an attempt by the city of Burbank to collect an obscene amount of money. While in court today, there were six other people issued the same fine.
If I lit a cigarette inside a bar or restaurant and received a ticket, it would be understandable, a new law that is not close to common knowledge should not be enforced to this extent. A simple warning would be sufficient.
If I were a business owner in Burbank I would be furious, and frightened, not to say all people who eat dinner and go to bars smoke, but a good majority of folks enjoy a cigarette if they have a few drinks, or a big meal.
This will effect the local Burbank economy in several ways, they have already collected $400 from my household, but I assure you the thousands I may have spent on a myriad of products will now never happen.
I truly believe the police officers have better things to do than write tickets to adults for smoking a cigarette. The officers took roughly 20 minutes to write us these tickets, if you count the 6 other people cited the same night, that's over two and half hours of time that could have been spent patrolling the streets for people actually committing crimes.
It's not right, we should all be outraged that our tax dollars pay the cops salaries to address these types of "crimes."

Burbank Blvd in Burbank just underwent an $8.6 million renovation that included paving, new curbs, trees, benches. Supposedly bike racks were included in the plan according to this article I dug up. It seems construction is over, but there are no bike racks to be seen. Maybe someone there can find out more? I really really want my bike racks!
