LA City Nerd Asks You...

Guest Day Editor LA City Nerd will be joining LAist with a few posts throughout the day. Read the introductory interview here and check out the nerd's blog.

A t-shirt that says As the LA City Nerd, we have to consult many sources to stay up on the latest news and issues facing the City. Besides reviewing the Council File Index regularly, we have to also consult websites to stay up on the latest issues facing the City or neighborhoods therein. So, the following are the top ten essential LA City Nerd blogs (in no particular order):

LA Observed
LAist (of course)
Metroblogging LA
Mayor Sam (with the posts by Mayor Sam himself being the relevant ones)
Franklin Avenue
Blogdowntown
View from a Loft
Curbed LA
CD13 Blog
Losanjealous

Those are my top ten that capture the essence of the City based on the blogs that are out there. So what do you think is missing or should be replaced?

The Militant sees himself as what would happen if you gave LA City Nerd camo and ammo.

 

Gonna go check out LA Taco and I second the mention of Militant Angeleno, but sadly L.A. Voice is but a diminishing shadow of its former self since Mack Reed bowed out.

Yeah, I'd say LA Taco is essential. :-)

I'd also nominate the Atwater Village Newbie, a neighborhood blog written by someone who really gets LA, and loves to share his discoveries.

 

LAFD blog, LAPD blog, and LA Times Homicide Report to round things out.

 

are you being anti-public transit?

MetroRiderLA rocked it earlier this week!

Bottleneck Blog too

 

No2HomeDepot.com. Duh!
