Curbed LA and LAist added to Leimert Park
Curbed LA says: Angelenos' sense of place, and the neighborhoods they call home, are more important than ever.
I'm beginning to believe it.
Hopefully they just need to hear from more diverse neighborhoods like ours.
They mentioned Leimert Park 3 times last year and 3 times the year before.

The launch pad wasn't in the coliseum, but just east, putting us very close to the action.
