Hey Folks...

I found 4 homes available in Leimert Park for less than $275,000. Amazing!!!

Go out and get pre-approved tomorrow!!  Don't be afraid to have your credit pulled.  If it's bad, then find out what you need to do to fix it.  Without a plan, the dream will never come to life.  You CAN live…

Own your park - some TLC for Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook

Have you heard about this budget crisis? Well everybody is doing what they can to get us through these tough times, but there have been lots of cutbacks. Maybe you've noticed. Unfortunately it's expensive to fix potholes and sidewalks yourself. Still we should step up - because ultimately taking care of your community ... well you are taking care of…

Leimert Park artist releases his first single "She Knows"

The Leimert Park area has been revered for years for its musical excellence. Dating back to the 1960's and on, it has been an epicenter for great jazz musicianship and fantastic poetry.

     Recently, over the past four years or so, we have seen a  birth of Hip-Hop in the Leimert Park music scene due in large part to the rise of Hip-Hop Artist and Leimert Park native 27 year old, Dom Kennedy. Dom Kennedy has risen to national prominence over the past year and has shed a new light on…

Don Cornelius - Innovator in the History of Black Music

An icon has sadly left us, but shares a treasure beyond words with family and friends.

In the stillness of late Saturday mornings, most teens were still finishing up their bowl of cereal or pancakes. All eyes and bodies were fully alert though for the weekly program that featured live music, dance, and artistic pleasure for all…

Miss West Coast Black Globe attends CAAM "Cake for King"

After attending the Kingdom Day Parade, Miss West Coast Black Globe went to  Exposition Park to continue the celebration of a wonderful man, Martin Luther King, Jr. Being with the Black Globe Organization has even more meaning for me to attend such events and pay tribute for a man that had suffered for my benefit as well as others.

New Boundaries, Same Old Division

I am appalled by the Redistricting Draft maps released on January 25th as much as the recent goings-on at City Hall.  If I could, I would run an Impeach Them All campaign, directed at everyone who chopped up my Council District.  They would be ousted with their greedy forks and knives.  Transparency?  Hah!  Bus ride through the Council Districts to fully understand what every resident and "communities of interest" spoke about at 15 Redistricting Hearings?  I think the city rented a bus and…
