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. Our Broadway is known for its theaters. Okay, yes, we know what you’re thinking, but it’s not really the same thing. Manhattan’s Broadway is all about theatre ; the craft of stage production and all that comes with it. LA’s Broadway is all ...

The Ruins of Llano del Rio Tell the Tale of LA’s Short-Lived Socialist Colony

  It turns out utopia comes at a pretty steep price. Photo credit: California Historical Landmarks Some might say that planting a seed in the desert isn’t the wisest decision. And the ruins of Llano del Rio underscore this point. It once bore the promise of a functional socialist society. Today, it’s a crumbling stone husk of that idyllic utopia, a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it series of eroded structural fossils east of Palmdale along Highway 138 that makes up California Historical Landmark #933.  The Political Non-Career of Job Harriman  Photo credit: Public Domain The Llano del Rio Collective was born from the frustration of Job Harriman, a lawyer and political hopeful who got further than you’d expect but not far enough to make much of a difference. Harriman was a staunch supporter of socialist ideals and, for the most part, practiced what he preached. And he had enough charisma to sell disenfranchised Americans on a system that was largely mis...

Hollywood Park Expansion Casts a Pricey Vote of Faith in the Future of LA’s Entertainment Industry

  Featured image credit: Gensler Stan Kroenke is a busy man. The owner of the Los Angeles Rams football team has been aggressively developing his sprawling Hollywood Park multi-use complex in Inglewood. Now, we’re just a mere month away from breaking ground on the construction of his next phase of the project: a comprehensive production campus for film and TV. It may seem like a gamble in a time when we’re seeing the region’s once-burgeoning entertainment industry in an unprecedented tailspin. But Kroenke’s no stranger to turning big risks into bigger rewards.  Stan Kroenke’s Big Bet Photo credit: Fox Sports Saying it’s a tough time for LA’s entertainment industry is a severe understatement. According to FilmLA , regional on-location filming has nosedived 22.4% year over year, going by 2025’s initial quarter. Perhaps even more relevant to Kroenke’s investments, Greater Los Angeles’s soundstage occupancy plummeted to 63%. If that doesn’t sound so b...
