LA Cars Ticketed on Street Sweeping Days when Roads Aren't Swept - LAist

LA Cars Ticketed on Street Sweeping Days when Roads Aren't Swept - LAist:

creeperstatus:

lepanopticon:

USC Broadcast Journalism student Matt Schrader has spent the last three months investigating parking tickets issued for violating street sweeping hours. He finds that tickets are often given on days when sweepers never come by. No surprise there.

To boot, he gets officials on the record agreeing with him: tickets shouldn’t be issued if the city has no reason to.

I FUCKING KNEW IT. I’ve held this suspicion for close to two years, but never had any confirmation.

LOS ANGELES COMMUNITY ALERT:

Don’t valet your car at the parking lot just to the east of The Coffee Bean and across from The Red Rock bar on Sunset Blvd. in West Hollywood.

They will steal from you. They took my girlfriend’s iPod when we parked there tonight. Of course, we didn’t realize it until later, when traffic was super thick heading west on just about every street — so driving back an hour or two to confront someone about stealing a little iPod would have been next to pointless.

Pass it on!

Sunset from the Griffith Park Observatory.

I went here the first weekend I moved to LA, over four years ago. The observatory itself was under renovation at the time, so I hiked up the nearby trail where I glimpsed my first aerial view of the city of Los Angeles. Griffith Park and the Observatory will always hold a special place in my heart.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT RED VELVET PANCAKES ARE A REAL THING!!!!

As if Eric’s post from this weekend didn’t get me excited enough to try out Larchmont Bungalow the presence of Red Velvet Pancakes means I need to get brunch there this weekend.

“When we spoke to the chef, Denvile Christie, the day before, he told us that one the breakfast/brunch specialties was Red Velvet Pancakes—or, heaven for sweets addicts. The recipe is the same as that used for the in-house cupcakes, topped with a whipped cream cheese concoction that isn’t for the faint of heart. Servings are generous, and this is definitely something you’ll want to consider splitting with a friend. We tried bites of these, along traditional strawberry pancakes with a side of strawberry-infused maple syrup, while another one of our friends had eggs and custard-filled French toast. How we made it out the door without falling into a sugar coma is beyond us.”
