Photo by: Aerial Rapid Transit Technologies LLC  #DodgerStadium #Dodgers #Gondola #LosAngeles #Metro #UnionStation Thousands of baseball fans have thought longingly of visiting Chavez Ravine without fighting through snarled, rush-hour traffic in a car or on a bus. Now, a company funded by former Dodgers owner Frank McCourt has proposed a possible solution: a gondola lift that would whisk passengers from Union Station to Dodger Stadium by air in five minutes. It's an unorthodox proposal in a city accustomed to ideas that flare up and die out. But, backers say, the plan is for real. "Los Angeles is a gorgeous city," said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, who plans to announce the project Thursday at a Metropolitan Transportation Authority meeting. "It lays out at night like this bed of jewels. This isn't something that's just about Dodgers ga...

#Amazon #JeffBezos #DavidGeffen #LosAngeles Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, the world's wealthiest person with homes around the world, is adding to his real estate portfolio.  Bezos has purchased the historic Warner Estate in Beverly Hills from medial mogul David Geffen for an eye-popping $165 million in what is believed to be a record deal for Los Angeles, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. Geffen purchased the 9.4-acre estate in 1990 for a reported $47.5 million. The legendary estate is also known as the Jack Warner Estate, built by the former head of Warner Bros. Studio in 1937. A 1992 Architectural Digest article said only a handful of Beverly Hills houses rivaled the Warner estate. The article described it as a "13,600-square-foot Georgian-style mansion" with "expansive terraces and gardens, two guesthouses, nursery and three hothouses, tennis court, swimming pool, nine-hole golf course and motor court complete with its own service garage and gas pumps...

D. Fuller asked, halfway through the graduate-level psychology class she teaches on Tuesday nights at Antioch University. Ms. Fuller’s students needed no further prompting. They began shedding layers, revealing what they’d been wearing underneath: T-shirts on which they had scrawled names, labels, and insults in Magic Marker ink. Around the room, the collection was various: “Sissy,” “AIDS,” “pedophile,” “pervert,” “fag,” “str8t-acting,” “socialite,” “fat,” “bland,” “emotionally white,” “immigrant,” “stupid American.” Welcome to L.G.B.T...

#Pizza #Za #LosAngeles Some of the best pizza in Los Angeles can be found in an empty lot in the back of a wine bar. It’s open only once a week, for four hours (or until it runs out of dough), and it’s nestled between the Thai Town and Little Armenia neighborhoods of Hollywood, where a pizzaiolo and his home-built, wood-fired dome oven (made in a Charleston backyard, of all places) spits out upward of 70 pies over the course of the night. It’s often gorgeous: Neapolitan in technique, but with the spirit of a sturdier New York pizza (as in, the core will not dissolve into a tomatoey pool after the first slice). And yet, every week, an Armenian mother will step out from her balcony adjacent to the lot and gaze down upon the action. Every week, she offers her consult: Let me show you how to make real pizza. Thus far, it’s been an empty threat. She’s never actually come down. Perhaps intuition tells her there’s no need. There might be better snapshots of the city, but few would more ...
