One day, bitches: the future of the Los Angeles Metro

Legally, it's West Hollywood from Fountain to Romaine. It's Greater West Hollywood from the hills north of Hollywood Blvd. down to Canter's.

k thx bye

Once the yellow line is completed, I will enroll at Pomona College

and dude there's huge yellow and bluue sign right at Fairfax that says "City of West Hollywood," but this is funny since most consider the starting line to be La Brea

i just want to know why that map doesn't have anything going from holly & high directly to santa monica & san vicente, if not robertson. how are the gays supposed to do their decadent sinning if they cant take teh tram?

that Green Line is going to be very intense, imo

w/ all the impressive ad historic churches landmarks and buildins it would be a fabulous view and the most beautiful ride in the city. esp w/ our weather is so great

I lived East of Fairfax and my address was in the City of West Hollywood.

- No weird underground pockets of oil to avoid
- Landfill is much easier to dig through
- It's just a wee little town

Walter, find me someone who lived in West Hollywood east of Fairfax and I'll find you someone who lived between Fountain and Romaine, east of La Brea.

("Hold my hand honey.. this is the 'ghetto' they talk about on the news, where shootings happen.")

Nothing else matters.

Major subdistricts include Picfair Village (whose name is a tribute to Mary Pickford's and Douglas Fairbanks' estate, Pickfair), South Carthay, Carthay Circle, Carthay Square, Wilshire Vista, and Little Ethiopia, a community of relatively recent Ethiopian and Indian immigrants.

[edit]

The Neighborhood

Carthay takes its name from a now-demolished movie theater which stood on the corner of San Vicente and Crescent Heights boulevards. The neighborhood was mostly developed in the 1930s, capitalizing on the success of the Miracle Mile. Most houses are built in the Art Deco or Spanish Colonial styles popular at the time. Initially segregated and all-white, Carthay has since become fairly diverse, with many middle-class black and Latino families living within the district. Much of its white population is Jewish, with several yeshivas and synagogues found in the area.

I want to start using that now: "forget Weho, I'm gonna go hang out in CARTHAY"

TELL IT TO VIK!

walter dude, enjoy

Little Ethiopia, Los Angeles, California

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

(Redirected from Little Ethiopia)

Little Ethiopia refers to the stretch of Fairfax Avenue on the West Side of Los Angeles, California between Olympic and Pico boulevards. This area is filled with Ethiopian businesses and restaurants.

Little Ethiopia dates back to the early 1990s. Previously, this stretch of Fairfax Avenue was filled with Jewish businesses as is the case in the Fairfax District to the north.

Ethiopian businesses and restaurants have recently begun congregating on Washington Boulevard between Fairfax Avenue and National Boulevard in Culver City, less than a mile to the south of Little Ethiopia.

or "Harvard Heights" - wtf? thats explains the "Byzantine-Latino Quarter" since it used to be heavily Greek back whenever http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Heights%2C_Los_Angeles%2C_California

I did know of Ladera Heights tho...the "black Beverly Hills" (ugh!)

People

The people of Los Angeles are known as Angelenos. L.A. can truly be described as a "world city" — that is, it has one of the largest and most diverse populations of any municipality anywhere. The Hispanic and Asian American populations are growing particularly quickly — the Asian American population is the largest of any city in the U.S. Los Angeles hosts the largest populations of Armenians, Cambodians, Filipinos, Guatemalans, Israelis, Koreans, Thais, Mexicans, Hungarians and Salvadorans outside of their respective countries. Los Angeles is also home to the largest populations of Japanese and Persians living in the U.S., and has one of the largest Native American populations in the country.

L.A. is home to people from more than 140 countries, who speak at least 224 different languages. Ethnic enclaves like Chinatown, Koreatown, Little India (Artesia), Little Armenia, Thai Town, Historic Filipinotown and Little Ethiopia give testimony to the polyglot character of Los Angeles.

i'm so glad. it's really a comprehensive, impressive plan. all the controversy probably made it stronger.

has anyone else heard the rumor that e. garcetti is gay (closeted obviously)? a friend knows him fairly well and he told me that he has strong suspicions
(obligatory "not that there's anything wrong with that.....")

*shrug*

he's still dreamy

YES on Jody's post - an unprecedented plan on this level - and despite the budget shortfalls, at least this $ that's being allocated will directly go to the westside (Wilshire leg) expansion rather than get squandered away on that lol route to Ontario the Gold Line/SGV advocates were clamoring for... on a civic level, this seemed improbable but now that it's happened it's truly incredibly good news for the city. Assemblyman Mike Feuer really deserves credit for getting it going

if this didn't pass likely nothing would be built for 30 years and Expo Line would be stalled..
this is better than nothing, but a good first step:

So how far does $4.1 billion get the subway?

The MTA says that could be enough to extend the line from its terminus at Wilshire Boulevard and Western Avenue to Westwood. The route hasn't been decided, but a recent MTA study recommended that the subway follow Wilshire to Beverly Hills, swing south to Century City and then north to Westwood

and the most important part, considering what Sacramento did to us in 2007:
Can the Legislature raid Measure R funds?

No. The money would belong to Los Angeles County. The Legislature can, however, continue to keep gasoline sales tax money that Sacramento is supposed to send back to counties.

only reason i brought it up is because i'm hearing a lot about him re: bigger offices and just wondering if there's a "buzz" out there or if my friend is full of shit

i hope he IS gay, defeats all stupid marriage bans after wedding me, and becomes gayvernor

yea cali hsr:))))))))

and the most frustrating thing is still how the red line going from here to downtown stops at 1 AM sometimes...everything should be a) 24/7 and b) um, a bit faster than driving

this should be opening real soon (i walked past the soon-to-be "little tokyo/arts district" station a few weeks ago and it looked great):

Go Gold Line Go!

Excellent.

There will be peace in the Middle East before the 710 freeway will be completed.

Bill restoring South Pasadena’s power to block surface 710 Fwy. extension advances

One battle in the war over the proposed extension of the Long Beach (710) Freeway may soon be over. A bill by Assemblyman Gil Cedillo (D-Los Angeles) to restore South Pasadena’s power to block a surface freeway through town has passed in the Assembly and is awaiting action in the Senate.

South Pasadena, along with Glendale, La Cañada Flintridge and other nearby communities, is opposed to an extension of the 710 Freeway from its Alhambra terminus to the Foothill (210) Freeway.

Proponents say the link is needed to speed truck traffic from the Port of Los Angeles to inland transportation hubs. Area residents are concerned about construction disruption, traffic, air pollution and costs for the long-planned but never-funded project. South Pasadena is particularly concerned, as the shortest route connecting the 710 and 210 freeways is a 4.5-mile course through the city.

Someone check the temperature in Hell please?

SOUTH PASADENA - The City Council voted Wednesday to ease its long- standing opposition to any and all extensions of the 710 Freeway.

The city will now agree to review the environmental report of alternate extension routes, such as underground or light-rail alternatives. The city has been opposed to any extension for more than 60 years.

The vote clears the way for a possible Assembly bill that would give South Pasadena negotiating power with Caltrans.

"It's a step toward working with the surrounding communities," Mayor Mike Ten said. "Now it's up to the surrounding communities to take steps towards working with us."

Officials voted to rescind Resolution 7147, which the council passed in February. The resolution strictly defined the city's stance as opposed to any and all extensions of the 710 Freeway.
