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

And the ruins of Llano del Rio underscore this point. It once bore the promise of a functional socialist society.

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...

How the Rise of the “New Listings Near Me” Search Changed the Game for Homebuyers

Perhaps it didn’t have the cultural impact of “new phone, who dis?” but the search phrase “new listings near me” flipped the way buyers search for homes on its… well, its roof. It’s a direct example of the effectiveness of location-based searching, a far cry from the newspaper ads and weekend open houses of yore. By typing “new listings near me” in a search engine from a phone or laptop, a seemingly inexhaustible list of options is produced for the busy buyer, giving an instant idea of what to expect from the local housing market. Location Matters in More Ways Than Ever Photo credit: Envato Location, location, location. It’s as relevant as ever, but for more reasons than one. That’s because with the rise of GPS-augmented mobile apps, the search for homes (among other things) has become hyperlocalized. Say you’re meeting a friend at a trendy cafe in Los Feliz, and you’re so taken with the neighborhood that you’d consider moving there. Simply type “new ...
