My sincere congratulations to Eric Garcetti on winning the Los Angeles mayoral elections. It was a…Read More long hard work to get here. You deserve the chance to reinvigorate Los Angeles to its glory days and an economic recovery that will benefit all Angelenos.
Now the work begins, to build team Garcetti and implement a new successful administration with honesty and integrity.

How many dispensaries will reopen in Eagle Rock? I hope the answer is,"Zero."

Does anyone know what "separated" means? Separated how?
What is a "designated…Read More place" A dentist office? A car wash?

Above is a PDF from LA City that says on page 3 that it is 600' from religious worship.
Whoever writes these articles needs to do some fact checking. Or at least be able to back up their comments with some sort of documentation.
Not only is this new Patch format inferior to the old layout, so seems to be the reporting as well.

As I read it: "...is separated from residential zones, maintains a 1,000 foot distance from…Read More schools and a 600 foot distance from parks, child care facilities, and other designated places, and other requirements. The proposition requires a 600 foot separation between medical marijuana businesses."

Hey Cal, This was actually my fault. Because I spend so much time on Moorpark Patch, I think I…Read More automatically typed in "Moorpark" when helping out with getting the LA election news onto the Patch sites in Los Angeles . . . Usually when I make a silly mistake like this, I'll fix it behind the scenes before anything actually gets published. Last night, I found out one of the glitches to be ironed out in our new platform is items posted directly from other sites can't be deleted without deleting the original. Hopefully our tech genies get that fixed soon, but in the mean time, I'll definitely be more careful and keep our local site local (at least as much as I can. Some of the sponsored content is beyond my control).

Dear Patch People... Why include an article in the Moorpark Patch that has to do with local…Read More politics in LA? Why should this take up space in our Patch? Anybody following the elections in LA can turn to the LAT on line or any number of other sources if interested. Just wondering... I prize the local news and the timeleness of the Patch. Forget the stuff that doesn't really impact our community.

Don't hold your breath ..garcetti was pandering for votes the day he voted against LAX expansion.he…Read More knew full well it had the votes to pass. It was all a show..he became their hero.He cared nothing about his own communities in Hollywood..he will not do damn thing to protect Westchester communities.
Bill Rosendahl knows this..he supported Greuel
With Garcetti, the Millennium skyscraper developer funded and Hollywood Chamber supported Mayor and his Deputy, inheriting his CD 13 council seat, also Millennium developer funded and Hollywood Chamber supported ..Hollywood is finished.Pack up, sell and leave..before it's too late!Just as garcetti told us we all should do on the floor of council the day he got the Hollywood Community higher density Plan approved,to accommodate his developer funders projects...'If you dont like living in higher density Hollywood ..leave'..nice guy. That is how he 'engaged and listened to' communities and why there are now three law suits against the HCP and litigation against his developer funder massive projects.this is his legacy in Hollywood. And MORE crime in our communities, more shootouts, in the streets and in the nightclubs he encouraged the proliferation of. His 'Savior of Hollywood' PR was all bull.
Greuel may have been supported by the unions but he certainly was not 'INDEPENDENT"..HE LIES... He sold Hollywood to his wealthy NYC developer funders, and he will sell other areas of L.A. to them too.
Wait till he gets the Eminant Domain thing through for his developer funders.. those that voted for him..hope it is not your homes the city takes away for his developer projects! Sad and tragic, so few knew all the developer illegalities this guy has been involved in AND GOT AWAY WITH..Greuel campaign was WAY too soft on him. HE led city council voting to raise DWP salaries and wanted DWP support, when he did not get it he destroyed her and demonized them. 'Know thine enemy', his campaign was like the mafia.. dont cross them..but if you want to beat them.. you better be prepared to come out with gloves on and go after THEM..And there was alot to go after..and be willing to NOT run a 'classy' campaign. It's never too late for investigations!

All born out of Garcetti ignoring and dismissing communities in his own District, that he destroyed!

A warning for those running for office.
1. Don't pander to unions; ie, IBEW/DWP. Folks look at their…Read More DWP bill and think, hmmmm is this bill going to be higher 2. Keep outside folks like Clinton and Boxer out of local elections. It's suppose to be a nonpolitical office (even though we know it isn't) but what it does do is piss off those that might consider voting for one over the other. 3. Don't pander to women. Guys vote also so all the talk about the first woman mayor may be okay, but don't make it a big platform item. There you have it all free of charge.

WIth all due respect to the restauranteur, Monsieur Giraud, it should not be suggested to go for the…Read More WiFi and to "sit and read and write." That is not what this restaurant, or any restaurant is there for. With the exemplary dishes on offer at Maison Giraud, one should dine the French way -- put away the cell phones and the computers and enjoy one's meal and, if with friends, then good conversation. People should know how "lovely" the restaurant is in terms of ambiance and the quality of the cuisine. If you, or anyone, is looking for a place to hang out and get free WiFi, go to Starbucks. Seriously. Maison Giraud is a small establishment here in the Palisades and thank heavens it's here. Don't take up table space if you're not going to have a proper meal.

I understand but given that it's now my favorite breakfast--light not heavy--in the Palisades and…Read More it's just a LOVELY place to sit and read and write, I felt more people should know how truly lovely it is.
The raspberry Danish is to die for. I want it once a week now!
I also do know people on Yelp who have liked it at dinner. And Melisse is insanely pricey. French isn't as big in WLA as it is in NYC, particularly the UES where there are four in a 12-block radius (Bistro Chat Noir, Mon Petit Cafe, Quatorze Bis and the neighborhood, old person (not being mean, just accurately describing the clientele) Sel y Poivre
if you're in the city, the prix-fixe at dinner--29 for appetizer, entree and dessert--is the deal of the UES. The salmon in a lighter beurre blanc is my favorite and they even deliver, which is great as it's easy to pick up a cold in the city. (I rarely get sick in LA but in NYC always knocked out 3 days). Profiteroles fabulous and the pate good as well.

Its is now almost 3 AM and only 20% of the precints in CD3 have reported their votes!!!! (CD 3 is…Read More the south/west SF Valley) while most CD's have reported 80-90%!!!!
What is the problem??? This seems very strange!
Alex Daniels May 22, 2013 at 12:16 am
Such censorship on this thread tonight...Just confirms my feelings that candidate who ran the…Read More sleaziest campaign and remained without a platform lost the mayor's race tonight....

When it says the Los Angeles Times 'endorses' someone or something does that mean they took a vote…Read More of all employees working at the Times or is it just a meaningless blurb by a small coven of inflated corporate propagandists kissing A with the Federal government or some other powerful special interest influence?
Isabel Storey May 20, 2013 at 09:03 am
Hi, I like the idea of the redesign and glad you're working on improving the site. I did notice,…Read More however, that as you made this transition, all the times for listed events went haywire. There were events listed at 1am, etc. An event that I had listed - which happens at 11am - looked as if it was happening at 6pm. I corrected it - and hope that this was just a glitch as you transition.
