Macarthur park North

When did Hollywood boulevard become MacArthur park? Why is the city allowing all these street venders especially in front of brick and mortar businesses. A few hotdog venders is one thing but the folks selling whatever cheap crap is another. Being from another part of SoCal I hope these issues are getting discussed in your current mayors race.

1905 Postcard addressed to Hollywood, Cal. "Near Los Angeles"

I Love the identification of Hollywood as "near Los Angeles" on this 1905 postcard. I also love that the address is listed simply as "Villa Casa de Las Palmas" without a street number of any kind and that the card still made it to its destination.

That destination — Casa de Las Palmas (I've never seen it written with "Villa" except here, presumably because that would have been redundant) — was located at the intersection of what is now Hollywood Blvd. & Vine Streets. It was owned by Jacob Stern, who'd bought the property a year earlier. In 1912, filmmakers Jesse Lasky, Cecil B. DeMille, and Samuel Goldwyn would rent a barn on Stern's property that became their first film studio and lay the foundation for what became Paramount Studios. That barn has since been relocated and houses the Hollywood Heritage Museum, located on Highland Ave. near the Hollywood Bowl.

The card's recipient, Elsa (or Elza) Stern, was Jacob's daughter and 11 years old at the time she received this card from an uncle. Of potential note: Elza's son, Melville Jacoby Jr., would later have a legendary if brief career as a World War II-era foreign correspondent for Time, Life, and other publications in China and the Philippines. She was also the woman behind the selection of the Bird of Paradise as Los Angeles's official city flower.

Source: I'm Jacob Stern's great-great-grandson and this postcard is among a trove of family history materials I've been processing for some time. I also wrote the 2016 book Eve of a Hundred Midnights about her son.

Karen Bass held a photo op to announce the reopening of the Cinerama Dome but refused to invite Ben Steinberg, the 26-year old who spent years singlehandedly leading the campaign to save the dome

This stuff honestly infuriates me as much as any policy or scandal. Someone works for years, (for free!) to save a beloved LA landmark only for a politician who did nothing to swoop in and claim credit.

I'd love the many Bass Bots on here to explain to me why this is ok.

Edit: Its genuinely hilarious that every time Bass is mentioned in this sub the same 10 accounts (all less than a year old) come in and start defending her. We all know you're astroturfing!

Canadians traveling to Hollywood

As the devils lettuce is legal in Canada, we are delighted that LA is legalized.

Any top dispensaries or other such business for two old millennials?

How can I convince my parents to travel here all by myself?

I M22 live with my parents and they don't like it when I go off by myself. I do travel sometimes, but it's only acceptable if I'm with someone else. There's this one convention that I want to go to in the next two months, and while I spend days there I also want to go to places in Hollywood, but I can't afford to bring someone else over, so I have to go by myself. How do I convince them to let me go there? The main concern for them is my saftey. They always say that it's dangerous everywhere I go, that there are bad people out there, and I fully understand that. I know that the world is a cruel, harsh and dangerous place and I need to watch over myself and check my surroudings, but that doesn't mean I should have to miss out on an important event for me just because I couldn't afford a baby sitter that I never wanted. Is there any way I can speak to them, so when the time comes they will be okay with me going? What should I research, and what types of street smarts I should learn, and tell them about?

Tree Man at Runyon Canyon?

I was running by Runyon Canyon one night (I don't usually like to run at night but I was busy that day) and I thought I heard a noise and I turned around and I thought I saw a tree move. I turned back around like my mind must be playing tricks on me but then I heard another noise so I turned around again and I saw a man, but he was like dressed as a tree and he had this really terrifying, maniacal grin. It scared the living daylights out of me and I just turned around and kept running. Never looked back. I don't know if my mind was playing tricks on me or something but I swear he was there. I still can't figure if I saw a man or a tree. I guess it was a Tree Man.
