Ghettobirds have a huge impact on our quality of life? Let us know

This is the third project I have partnered with Spot.Us - and together we have made a difference.



The first project we tackled Marlton Square in South Los Angeles. This 20-acre redevelopment disaster has been neglected, mired in legal disputes and mismanagement for nearly 20 years. But in the last year, it became an issue. in the City Council race and in the community. The Leimert…

You may have noticed there was a pop up when you checked in. The pop up is a one-question survey I hope you take. But first ...



One of the really positive things that I hope will come out of The Santa Barbara Plaza project is that we did this as a community.



We had volunteers who came on with the knowledge that they would get nothing if we didn’t raise money through Spot.Us. It was for the… Continue

Redevelopment Hell: How a prime opportunity for redevelopment in South Los Angeles became the bane of the community

By Emily Henry of Intersections South LA and Eddie North-Hager of LeimertParkBeat.com



Santa Barbara Plaza has been whitewashed, boarded up, security gates padlocked. Most of the 240 small and large shops once here have been relocated, were bought out or have gone out of business.

Waiting for Marlton - Stalled redevelopment mars Baldwin Hills neighborhood and Crenshaw Plaza businesses

The $30 million upgrade of the Baldwin Hills-Crenshaw Plaza is underway just a year or two after new owners came in and paid more than $100 million for this prized piece of real estate.







But across the street, it's taken decades to redevelop Marlton Square, which sits in shambles a stone's throw from the world famous Debbie Allen Studios and the nicest Fatburger and Taco Bell you'll ever see. And of course the Magic Johnson Theater and Sears.… Continue

The Refrain: We're closer than ever to redeveloping Marlton Square

Hopefully it's more than a talk ing point.



As we have

begun to interview key players, we keep hearing "we are closer than ever to

redevelopming Marlton Square." Hopefully something is going on behind

The hope of Marlton Square

There are 20 acres in our community that everybody knows as a dump, as a shame. But once Marlton Square, aka, Santa Barbara Plaza held 300 stores, stores supported by our community. Banks, dry cleaners, tailors.



Let's try to imagine.



Seem like a lifetime ago because for most of us in the Crenshaw area the only memory is of Marlton Square in shambles.



It was once a destination. Now it is in decay. Development could be just around the corner. Let's hope it is.…
