The Los Angeles Times reported (but you heard it first at the the LP Village visioning meeting earlier this month) that there are very preliminary plans to have a train coast down the boulevard all the way to LAX. How great would that be to have an easy way to get to the airport? I've taken a $30 cab, a $3 bus, bummed rides from friends and of course… Continue

The Los Angeles Times asked "four randomly selected people in different parts of the city who are

not quite juniors and not quite seniors" to describe

their favorite weekend.
