Hi Everyone,

I am working on a documentary at USC about life in Leimert Park and am currently looking for photos of the community from past eras - 90s, 80s, 70s, 60s, and beyond.

If you have any photos (or video) that you would be willing to share, please contact me at webster.loria@gmail.com

Thanks in advance!

Hey Folks...

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

Buying a home has never been more affordable.  At these prices, your monthly mortgage will be less expensive than if you rented a home in this neighborhood.

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…

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…

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…

To all my first time home buyers---

The days of 100% financing have BEEN gone!  You must have at least 3% of the purchase price of a home as your down payment.

Next to correcting your credit, saving for a down payment is probably one of the hardest things to do when it comes to buying your first house.  It all boils down to changing…

I am sharing this email received from Mark Riddley Thomas office. I can't make it to this meeting.  They are proposing tunnel under Leimert Park.  I have attached the flyers. Let me know if you have problems downloading I can send via email.

Dear Empowerment Congress Members:

The Village has come alive once again!

 …

It all started on Facebook, with an invitation, then at the box office, then in the lobby and at last in the warmth of the movie theater. It was like a family reunion. I walked into the theater and saw friends who I hadn’t seen in years.

         I made my way to my seat, and then, just before the movie started, the Directors/Producers were making their way down the isle when Paul Calderon (Co-Producer, Co-Director, Editor) spotted me and stopped to remind Alan Swyer (Co-Producer,…

Tonight my heart grew heavy as I stopped by Sika’s shop during the Art Walk and saw a memorial tribute honoring Fred Horn, this was the firs time I heard that Fred Horn had passed away. He passed a couple of weeks ago due to health complications related to diabetes and high blood pressure.

I last saw Fred at Kaos Network two Art Walks ago in November. Ben Caldwell was holding a filmmaker’s symposium where Fred and I had a chance to share some laughs with the crowd and give props to…
