The property at 1743 N. Cahuenga Boulevard [map], on a strip of street in Hollywood we often call the Cahuenga Corridor of late, is boarded up these days and undergoing yet another transformation. Over the past decade it's been the site of numerous trendy Hollywood hot spots, where paparazzi gather to ambush stars and heiresses with their flashes and coaxing into the wee hours. Paint it one color, call it White Lotus, give it a go as Ritual, renovate it and call it Halo. However, undergoing yet another makeover, the property has finally brought in the wrecking ball to take down some of the building's original structure, bringing to an end a piece of local history. more ›

The black BMW 650 whisking actress Lindsay Lohan out of the area behind the Hotel Cafe last night struck one of the members of the paparazzi swarming the vehicle, then fled the scene, according to KTLA. The incident occurred around 1 a.m. on the 1600 block of North Cahuenga Boulevard, when Lohan and her two assistants entered the vehicle that then exited from "the narrow alley behind the club." Witnesses report seeing the car surrounded by paparazzi, then one of them being struck, with a female assistant at the wheel. Lohan's "car sped away and never came back," leaving "a 220-pound male [who] was treated at the scene" for his injured wrist and leg. Police are still investigating the incident and hope to identify the driver. more ›

If you couldn't get enough of the food truck trend, here's another one to add to your list; however, it will be gone before you know it. Ketel One is launching a canteen--really, it's a food cart towed by an Escalade--that will serve free late-night food by Top Chef's season two winner Ilan Hall (the guy who recently opened The Gorbals in downtown). more ›

If you love the nightlife, you may love what's known as the Cahuenga Corridor. The space that was once White Lotus, then Ritual, has re-emerged as Halo, the latest endeavor by Chris Breed (of Green Door, Pig 'N Whistle and Cabana Club), who told the LA Times last week that Halo is "an old-school club." He's referencing the space's black and white decor, the different elevations, the multiple bars (three) and the patio. more ›
