Named story of 2010 by Leimert Park Beat ...

 

The Leimert Park Artwalk turns 1 year old Sunday - Let's celebrate!

 

LACommons will be having a mask festival,

 

Branki Kane tweeted she'll be there - but is that just a rumor?

 

It wouldn't be far fetched as Aceyalone was the special guest earlier this year.
