While we do need reform at our schools, we really need to change the culture of our city from one that believes it's 'uncool' to be smart or participate in the educational process, to one that values ...

^ Agreed. I hope this MJ case is worth it. It's not like there's real issues out there for his office to focus on. ...

I know we all want these projects built yesterday, but come on. Our freeway network was built over decades, just like our rail system is going to be. I'm glad the voters in LA County decided to put ...

The councilmembers who left are only human and I understand why they left. But what if the guy comes back again? Are they going to leave every time? I can't say I would have sat there and listene...

Notice all these so-called "mean" cities -- Berkeley, San Francisco, Santa Monica, Los Angeles -- are the ones that "nice" cities give their homeless a one-way bus ticket to. Other cities don't wan...

If Bonchon is the one in the corner space on 6th and (whatever street), then I need to try Kyochon. Thanks for the rec!...

I can't remember if I go to Kyochon or Bonchon... but either way, Korean fried chicken is awesome. I need some now....

It just all depends on what "middle class" means to you. It seems that the term has become more a lifestyle (two kids, suburban home, two cars) than an income indicator. You can get a condo in Downt...

I wonder if these crimes were simply left off the map or whether they've been left off of official statistics. If they're not reported as official statistics (ie, overall crime rate), that's even wor...

Ross: Though I agree with you on the Victorville terminus, that's only Phase I. The goal is to bring it to Palmdale to tie into the CA High-Speed Rail project. If the projects are designed to use s...

On April 16, 2009 5:59 PM in Downtown is Booming, but Where is the Trader Joe's?, they said:

Trader Joe's would have done very well to open up a store before Ralphs opened. Imagine all the goodwill they would have gotten-plus they'd be serving not only the Downtown residents, but the ~400,000...
