Downtown Los Angeles is fast becoming one of the city's new "it" places to set up a permanent address and play house. But a new worry is plaguing residents of the high-rises and converted lofts that dot the one-way streets of LA's civic center: What happens when we have kids?

The Olive Street blob is still a mystery, the LA Times reports. While the hot-water flushing of a nearby oil well seemed to be the source of the problem, stopping the flushing hasn't stopped the oozing goo. Maybe there's a leak.

Not likely. At least not at tomorrow's NFL Kickoff Event. Based on his press conference yesterday, it looks like Kanye isn't even allowed to mention Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath in any context when he performs or promotes the concert. Who's to say what he'll do on his $2 Bill show or the weekend's relief benefit airing across the cable music channels. That doesn't mean it'll be a bad show though and the entire NFL Kickoff concert is free to the public. All you have to do is get to the Memorial Colisseum by 2:30 tomorrow (the NFL recommends the Metro) and you should get a seat for the show which also includes Rihanna (whose Pon de Replay is the dance song of the summer), Good Charlotte and Maroon 5 at the home of the NFL's first Super Bowl.

New York's Daily News gossiped yesterday about Sela Ward's desire to get into our local social elitist enclave, the Jonathan Club.

Is downtown officially the new 'it' place to be in LA? Forget the strip, the beach, the west side, or Los Feliz, LA Downtown News notes that models hang out in the Arts District.

Downtown residents, workers, and visitors are driving strong ridership numbers for one of LA's most successful transit services, the DASH Downtown bus system.
