Profile Information

So what brings you to Leimert Park Beat? Tell us a little bit about yourself.: I moved to the Leimert Park area near Crenshaw and Martin Luther King about six years ago and was overcome with the culture that now surrounds me.

I started this online community for my neighborhood as part of the master's program in online communities I am in at USC. I created Leimert Park Beat in April 2007.

It was always a dream of mine to have a newspaper. But here the community decides what's important by contributing the content. Leimert Park Beat strengthens the community by providing a virtual town square. Leimert Park Beat also empowers the community by giving it a voice in this big city.

After spending most of my life working at newspapers, I am now a media relations representative at a top research university.

I'm proud to be the chaplain, an elected position, in the Sutro Avenue Block Club. Our yearly barbecue is in August, holiday potluck is December and Yard Sale is in May.

I am also on the North Area Neighborhood Development Council, the city's neighborhood council which represents the area just east of Leimert Park.

Other neighborhood social networks I created:

SilverLakeStar.com
University Park Family.com
Echo Park Online

CulverCityTimes.com http://RanchoParkOnline.com"">
RanchoParkOnline.com
http://SanPedroNewsPilot.com"">
SanPedroNewsPilot.com

If you would like to suggest a story, sponsor the site, contribute a blog post or if you would like to have help building your own online community, please contact me.

Who referred you?: Eddie North-Hager

Good times at:: Pete's Cafe at Fourth and Main Downtown, http://www.petescafe.com/
or to see the Zone, http://zonejams.com/, a friend's band. Or finding unknown adventures in Los Angeles and environs.

My other Website:: http://www.universityparkfamily.com

Last song I heard or I sang:: Femi Kuti: Do Your Best

Profession:: Media relations

My Leimert Park Secret:: I first tell people I live in Leimert Park to see what they know.

Then I tell them I live near Crenshaw and King to see what they think they know.

If you live in the 90008 area code, you can use Leimert Park as the city of your address instead of Los Angeles. Only a few neighborhoods have this perk, such as Hollywood and Venice.

I recently signed petition OPPOSING this.....I wish I could post photos of the really MAGNIFICENT TREES they will cut down. I TOTALLY OPPOSE THIS RAPE OF OUR COMMUNITY'S MEAGER RESOURCES!!!! Now then, when the shuttle was taken to its lift-off location, it was positioned in a VERTICAL MANNER. That way, the wings are NOT HORIZONTAL and should NOT require the destruction of OUR TREES on its path to the museum. THEY(?) had originally proposed going down LEIMERT BL. where the stately pines form a natural green tunnel. At least SOMEONE saw how stupid that would be....WHERE THE HELL ARE OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES AT ALL LEVELS WHEN WE NEED THEM........FIGHT BACK EVERYONE!!!

I am glad you had a chance to stop by CAAM last night, however I was not there. I love Leimert Park Beat, it is a great platform for community events and I will continue to share them with your viewers. I will upload a photo this weekend, and the next time you visit CAAM let me know so I can formally introduce myself. Thanks again, love the site and the work you do!!!

An attack on our civic rituals - those are the things that we value as Americans: Deval Patrick consoles Boston, America

Posted on April 18, 2013 at 9:00pm 0 Comments 2 Promotions

I heard the most amazing speech this morning in the most trying of times.

So many things I've been thinking about were coalesced.

Deval Patrick, speaking in the aftermath of a tragedy that shakes us to our core, becomes a messenger of unity so strong that it evens transcends religion.

"How very strange that the cowardice unleashed on us should…

Movement on Crenshaw

If you try to avoid the traffic on Crenshaw as much as I do, you may not have noticed that progress is being made on the demolition of the former Rent-A-Center, Rite Aid Pharmacy, and another empty storefront at Rodeo Road. I've attached a few photos that I took a couple of weeks ago. Since then, the building to the north of Ralph's (Comet Clea…See More
