After the Joe Rogan Comedy Store confrontation and the recent accusations of stealing from Bill Cosby, there seems to be a Carlos Mencia aka Ned Holness witch hunt as of late.

Back from the Holidays, LAist brings you yet another look at people and coffee and buzz-like activity (we're going into our fifth month, people) as it relates to Los Angeles. This week, LAist took a trip to the hip and happening and happy and horror-filled location that is Hollywood -- more specifically, Sunset Boulevard where there's more billboards per capita than in any other place in town. Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf #16 7915......
