On June 14, 2008 5:33 PM in LAistory: Grand Central Air Terminal, they said:

Well done! This is the kind of post that makes a City Nerd smile....

So, this is perplexing. While street sweeping reduces the pollution in run-off (remember, that the street system is part of the County Flood Control system), considering it as a source of revenue is s...

On September 3, 2007 6:31 AM in Extra, Extra - No More Butterflies After Tomorrow, they said:

Just remember, Robert Ahmanson is not the Ahmanson for whom the theater is named at the the Music Center. Robert is the nephew of HOWARD Ahmanson, the orignal Ahmanson, for whom the theater (and the R...

On August 9, 2007 8:06 AM in Now that was a 4.5 Earthquake, Los Angeles, they said:

Just to clarify... Earthquakes - no matter what have you been told - do NOT have epicenters. They occur along faults and shock waves that cause the vibration in the ground based on the shifting of th...

On August 8, 2007 1:35 AM in The Neighborhood Project: Watts, they said:

LAist Neighborhood Project, you know we love you! But, this post lacks some of the true institutions of Watts, namely the Watts Labor Community Action Committee and all the work they do, as well as ...

On August 7, 2007 8:14 AM in The Neighborhood Project: Garvanza, they said:

Well Done! This is a great introduction to one of the truly hidden jewels of the City of Los Angeles. The borders of Garvanza can be a little confusing in the hills in the north as the area essential...

On August 6, 2007 8:50 AM in The Cheapest Valet in LA: Yang Chow, Chinatown, they said:

Don't forget the real issue behind Valet Parking in the City of LA: zero controls or enforcement. Read about it here....

On July 20, 2007 9:06 AM in Neighborhood Project: Koreatown, they said:

Well, done. My LA City Nerdiness kicks in, though, and forces me to share that Tom LaBonge (CD4) also represents a portion of Koreatown, as does Eric Garcetti (CD13) - love those district lines! Also...

On July 20, 2007 7:35 AM in Neighborhood Project: Little Armenia, they said:

Check out this event in AND ABOUT Little Armenia. ...

On July 18, 2007 11:17 PM in Neighborhood Project: NoHo Arts District, they said:

So, just a few points (of many that could be made)... First, those crosswalks only have a two-year life - after that, they'll need to be repainted or removed. Defintely missing from this essay is Po...

On July 15, 2007 8:14 PM in How Walkable Is Your Neighborhood?, they said:

Zach- Sadly, my 'hood is a meager 51; but I think it's wrong....

On July 15, 2007 6:15 PM in How Walkable Is Your Neighborhood?, they said:

Don't forget the 10 most walkable streets in LA....

On July 14, 2007 6:13 PM in Photo Essay: The Japanese Garden, they said:

I was just going to mention Starfleet Academy. Actually, this is a frequent filming location, from Alias to Austin Powers (remember the scene in the first one where Austin slides into the Japanese roo...

On July 14, 2007 6:07 PM in The Neighborhood Project: Burbank, they said:

Just to reiterate: Burbank is not an Officially Designated Community of the City Los Angeles. It is a seperate municipality. But, it is still considered to be part of the San Fernando Valley (along w...

On July 14, 2007 7:20 AM in Neighborhood Project: West Adams, they said:

I'm concerned about your borders. I'm not familiar with the area north of the 10 being considered West Adams. I definitely think nothing north of Washington could be West Adams. We'll need to refine o...

On July 10, 2007 11:28 PM in Neighborhood Project: Little Armenia, they said:

Well done, LAist. This is a great marriage of LA City Nerdiness and cultural content!...

On June 23, 2007 8:18 AM in Reason 419 Why I Love Costco, they said:

ACtually, there are only 4 Costcos in the Valley. I understand they are looking to bring 9 more Costcos to the City - all of which are targeted above the 10 freeway. Go figure!...

On June 12, 2007 10:23 PM in Metro Recovers $40 Million, they said:

Apparently, no one realizes this is more than just a 40 million dollar settlement. Fans of this site who live in the City of LA should see this as a threat to their quality of life. Why? you ask. We...
