White Boy/White Dog Move To Skid Row

Certified Beach Dude Moves To Downtown Los Angeles

I guess people can make a difference at City Hall, but but the cynical side of me believes something else happened- like a little light went on in the head of someone at Public Works with the thought of “why are we paying double time when this can be done in the daytime?”- or another [...]

So Tonya Durrell, representing the Public Works Office on Project Main St. Jackhammer, did respond to a request from a Higgins resident to explain why the work was necessary during the 9pm - 5am timeframe (see previous post). BUT she neglected to answer the core question and instead did a good job of filibustering [...]

The Month of the Jackhammer continues on Main St. next to the Higgins building, from 9pm until 5am daily. Even though I am not directly over the construction, it echos off the nearby new LAPD and rattles my windows- last night from 2am - 4am it was obnoxiously loud. I figured we just [...]

I might have missed if anyone posted any notes on the scheduled construction on Main Street the entire month of Apr.. From 8pm till 5am!!. If anyone have any information pls. do share.

Can someone tell me what this building is that is taking foreever to build? It is one ugly building- notice it’s complete lack of windows- is it a new holding cell for inmates? It is on south side of Temple St., between Los Angeles St and San Pedro St (or properly called Judge [...]

I know there is not a thing anyone can do about this particular closure, as it needs to happen for the widening of 2nd St. But I really did not see it coming- I thought they were taking 1 lane away from 2nd St, westbound between Los Angeles St and Main St- no big [...]

I really love weekends downtown, as it is usually very quiet in the morning, and stays relatively quiet all day (depending on construction at LAPD HQ- they are allowed to begin work at 8am on weekends). Last weekend, Memorial Day, was like heaven; once I was standing at corner of Main and 1st St [...]
