So I biked to work this morning for the first time. Ave 50 through school traffic, down to Southwest Museum, gold line to Chinatown. 5 minute ride down Spring. It was great!

Yipes, times ARE changing:

End of an era: Laemmle's Sunset 5, once the 2nd biggest arthouse in the U.S. is closing. Will be replaced by Sundance Cinemas.

at least an arthouse is replacing it, and it won't be another, i dunno, pinkberry...

wonder how the laemmle noho is coming along...

re the laemmle noho!

Greg: We are hoping to open before year end and have targeted December 21 as the first date for public screenings. We've got a lot to do between now and then to make this happen, but from top to bottom, our team is committed to hitting that date.

oh, nice!

admrl i went to PINA on saturday, probably going to a few more screenings this week as well

i just noticed that there are two adjacent parallel avenues in encino named gloria avenue and gaynor avenue! i bet they've got really good block parties.

i once screengrabbed a google map of those streets and posted it here! it's close to the jackson compound.
