Historic Theater Preservation Adds New Meaning to “Save the Drama” on LA’s South Broadway

  Featured image credit: Afpeach It would be a passably snappy intro to drop a statement like, “There’s only one Broadway”, but it’s not exactly true, is it? Of course, there’s Broadway in Manhattan, a concrete river veritably flowing with theatre. That would be the Broadway that everyone knows. But what about the Broadway in Chennai, India, a thoroughfare regionally recognized for its wealth of commercial establishments? Or bustling Broadway Street in Sydney, Australia, offering universities, transportation, and even some scenery for David Bowie’s 1983 music video for “Let’s Dance.” Los Angeles even has a Broadway and, while it may not be even close to as celebrated as Manhattan’s variety, we still think it’s pretty special.

Today, we take a closer look at the most terrible brand in the West.  “The P.T. Barnum of Gasoline” Photo credit: Coolcaesar It was in 1938 that Edward R. Herbst opened the far less memorably named Martin Oil in Chicago. It was his first gas station and he already had big ideas for it. In those days, gas stations were primarily focused on providing gasoline to mot...

10 Crazy Conspiracy Theories That Could Only Happen in LA

  Los Angeles can be weird. Often it’s an endearing quality. Other times, not so much. It’s no wonder this city has conjured its own collection of crazy conspiracy theories specific to our locale. Sometimes, they even pop up in this blog, like the time we discussed the legend of Devil’s Gate Dam being a portal to hell. Yeah, that happened. But today, we have 10 LA-centric conspiracy theories we’ve never talked about before. Some are clearly lunacy. After all, LA is a crazy city, so our myths, legends, and lore need to keep pace with our daily lives. Others… well, they might have something to them.  Traffic Tribulations Photo credit: 4X4 Blazer 1776 It seems that the global pandemic changed everything… especially how frequently people say “The pandemic changed everything.” But much of the world has had time to slip back into the old routines. Just ask any Angeleno stuck in the city’s legendary rush “hour” (which is actually about 13 hours long). As more...
