I forgot the Leimert Park Book Fair as well made the top 10 - http://www.leimertparkbeat.com/profiles/blogs/art-festivals-cultural

Amaechina - the Labor Day Arts and Music Festival was the most popular story on Leimert Park Beat this year - congrats!

Here a question about the festival on the front page - http://www.leimertparkbeat.com/profiles/blog/show?id=677129%3ABlogPost%3A23984

Great! Walter Melton and Ernie Mixon were also interested. I'll set up a meeting so we can move forward. Very exciting to work on an important piece about Leimert Park when the writers will be from Leimert Park.

For now, it's most important to tell people you are working on the piece because we need first hand accounts from people in the area who can talk about and provide photos of Santa Barbara Plaza and Marlton Square, both from today's perspective and from years and years ago.

That will provide the context and the foundation for the investigation piece that include talking to city officials, business people and digging up the documents.

We can't have too many people involved, and no contribution is too small.
