Posted by I’ve decided that since I spend so much time reading, researching, and following stories about L.A. it would probably be useful just to compile a list of everything on my radar (along with some of the stuff we’re writing too) on a weekly basis and turn it into a useful article.
Hopefully you can use this rundown as a hub to catch up on what you missed, or at the very least, find among it’s contents at least one article every week that tickles your fancy.
