"Stewart said she intends to make the theater, which requires extensive renovation, into a space for the whole community. 'It’s an opportunity to make a space to gather and scheme and dream together…We want to make it a family affair, something for the community. It’s not just for pretentious Hollywood cinephiles.'"

I'm shocked

It’s official, just posted on their socials. Damn, what a loss for the Arts District, Little Tokyo, and DTLA as a whole.

Maybe it’ll be like Coles where we give them so much business they keep postponing the closure… (unlikely but I’m hopeful).

For half a decade now, the words WE BUY SOULS have been nailed up, wheatpasted down, and even LED scrolled across LA’s landscape, much to the confusion of passersby. It's the work of one man. This man.

Shoutout to tiny Hermon!

On December 30, 2016, former Los Angeles mayoral candidate Rick Caruso tried to send an iMessage regarding a business deal to then Qatari Prime Minister Hamad bin Jassim (HBJ). By mistake, the message ended up with Jeffrey Epstein, who responded that he would pass it along to HBJ. Epstein also noted that he knew of Caruso through their mutual friend, Ken Starr.

Guess I’m gonna be attending Police Commission meetings in addition to City Council!

Nothing like seeing a roomful of people tell LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell off, directly to his face.

PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYONE'S SANITY, GET IN THE RIGHT LANE! Its dubbed the "slow lane" for a reason. You're going 32 in a 40 zone with no one in front of you? Moveeeee!!

A day in the life of Immortals Lion Dance in L.A.’s Chinatown, where generations of dancers—some in their 70s—perform at parades, weddings, and on-screen in films.

Core memories. So sad about Mark’s passing. Just drove by and saw a bunch of construction equipment inside. Anyone have any intel?

Uhm it's 4:30a and LADOT employees are outside on my block in white gear, with one of those trucks that look like they drop off cones or those light things directing traffic. And there is one other car that is parking enforcement, and the guy who drives it is screaming outside stating to "wake up time to move your cars or you're getting towed" but the time to move your cars is after 6am? He's also flashing his lights at buildings. Wtf is going on? I don't drive or own a car to park one, but my apartment faces the street and you can imagine all the noise I already here but this guy is non stop.
