A.M. News: AV, BUR, Torrance, Silver Lake, Echo Park
Can't afford that $2.2 million house you wanted in Laguna Niguel? You can get the same exact model for a half million in AV (that's Antelope Valley). Hello Poppy Festival and street names with no creativity!
We love Bob Hope Burbank Airport (BUR)!!! The short lines, the ease of picking up and dropping off friends and walking on the tarmac. But the airport is getting more popular and now they are considering the Van Nuys FlyAway.
The city of Torrance takes on the weed issue.
Silver Lake explained by LACityNerd.
Next door, the Echo Park blog tells us that the new book by Michael Connelly, Echo Park, will tour only as close as South Pasadena. EP also points out that the book's photo cover is not of Echo Park, rather, what looks like Palisades Park in Santa Monica
