How Builders in LA Get Away with Murder
2980 Waverly Drive: Who did this to you, sweetie? Beware, Los Angeles, for scary developers are amongst you. This is a story about a great vintage house, turned into a wicked Haunted House, by inept city departments and sneaky flippers. 2980 Waverly Drive. I had to dig deep into the murky clay of Building and Safety to find what builders and flippers like Re-Inhabit can get away with in Los Angeles. Turns out, a lot of bad things! Built in 1926, 2980 Waverly Drive in Silver Lake was bought February 2013 ($668K) and sold by John Aaroe Group, September 2013, for twice the price, ($1,250,000). The 6 months in between…

Bad restaurants and bad foodies.
Zocalo recently posted a chat in the weekly updates and announcements they send out, called What is the Cruelest Food You’ve Ever Eaten? I haven’t been to Zocalo in a couple of years, but they do have some good events and free food, (which isn’t cruel at all). Their lectures are free, and they tackle a lot of serious and interesting topics. But WTF? Is cruelty a viable subject for humor now? – desperate and fame-whorish, Zocalo.
