It's time for Comment Box... when we get to hear from you about the work we're doing.
First to a conversation we had on yesterday's show about Silver Lake.
This week the Neighborhood Council there voted to officially lose the "Eastside" label which many residents had been using in recent years, the argument being that true East LA is its own unique community....not to be confused with Silver Lake.

A few of you wondered why we even bothered with the chat.
Listener Eric Brightwell said though Silver Lake may not be Eastside, "I'd argue that since the 1920s it hasn't really been part of the Westside though (which it was historically)."
Also, this week we took a look at this week's big debate between Bill Nye The Science guy and Ken Ham, the president and CEO of Answers in Genesis.
The topic: The origins of the human race.
We followed up with a little mash-up of the evolution/Creationism debate and asked listeners afterward to weigh in.
Rabbi David Young wrote us and had this to say:
I consider the texts that give creationists their "science" holy. At the same time, I believe these texts need to be studied very closely so that they can be interpreted for each of us so that we can maximize their importance for us as individuals.
And lastly...
We took a look at gender and the work force this week with Ben Waber, CEO of Sociometric solutions.
He crunched a whole lot of data and came to the conclusion that women still get paid less than men and don't get promoted as often because of plain old bias.
His solution -- start them young with gender roles reversals. Give boys toy ironing boards and little girls more monster trucks.
And listen up, Nickelodeon: Make more of your superheroes girls and use less pink.
Listener Ann Wright posted on our website: "Thank you Ben Waber."
And Ilaan Mazzini shared this story:
Recently my eight year old son and I were in Toys R Us buying a trendy bracelet loom and had a conversation about the packaging having only girls on the box. He asked why there weren't boys in the image. " I like weaving and so do all my friends".
And there you have it.
