High praise, in fact, too high. But hyperbole aside, LA truly is a GREAT and amazingly diverse restaurant city, and many of the top restaurants are in the downtown area. Olvera Street If you have a few hours, I suggest a walk to the Union Station (800 N. Alameda St.) and stroll through the magnificent building, then walk a block north to Olvera Street for some old LA and see the roots of this great city (many shops selling Mexican goods and gifts to bring home to the family), then a short walk to the Italian American Museum (644 N. Main St.) to see what is on exhibit (everything is one or two blocks away from this town). End your adventure at Philippe The Original (1001 N. Alameda St) for old LA. The restaurant dates back to 1908 and is where the French Dip Beef Sandwich was invented! Great diner-type food but you must try the French Dip Beef Sandwich (ask for a double- dip, which means both sides of the bun are dipped in the beef au jus).

    FORM GEN. 160 (Rev. 6-80) CITY OF LOS ANGELES INTER-DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE Date: March 13, 2015 To: Honorable Council Members From: Gary Lee Moore, City Engineer Bureau of Engineering Subject: CITY SIDEWALK REPAIR PROGRAM STATUS UPDATE NO. 1 (COUNCIL FILE 14-0163-S4) This document is prepared in response to the CF 14-0163-S4 relative to the City Sidewalk Repair Program. Specifically, Council instructed the Bureau of Engineering (BOE) to report back on the status of implementation of the Sidewalk Repair Program, including any required policies, hiring of employees, utilization of contractors and amount of sidewalk repairs completed. Program Progress On February 3, 2015, the City Council approved implementation of a FY 2014-2015 Sidewalk Repair Program for repair of sidewalks adjacent to City facilities. BOE was established as the Program Manager. A kickoff meeting was held on February 9, 2015, and subsequent meetings have been held on a weekly basis. The meetings are well attended and include the Mayor’s Office, Board of Public Works (BPW), Bureau of Contract Administration (BCA), Bureau of Street Lighting (BSL), Bureau of Street Services (BSS), City Administrative Officer (CAO), Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA), Department of Recreation and Parks (RAP) and the Department of Transportation (DOT). BOE appreciates the participation and collaborative efforts that have taken place to start the Program, and the cooperation has allowed us to accomplish a great deal in a relatively short time frame. On February 10, 2015, BOE immediately began assessment of the list of City Facilities that were provided by each Department as requested by the CAO.

    The Artist Creating a 150-Foot-Long Glass Rainbow

    The Artist Creating a 150-Foot-Long Glass Rainbow nytimes.com/2019/02/07/t-magazine/sarah-cain-san-francisco-airport.html By Alice Newell-Hanson February 6, 2019 The first paintings that Sarah Cain remembers admiring as a teenager were works by Joan Mitchell, Philip Guston and Robert Motherwell which, thanks to a public arts fund, lined the walls of an otherwise dismal underground mall in Albany, N.Y., not far from where she grew up, in Kinderhook. “My parents didn’t really take me to museums, so that is where I saw the first real art, mixed in with shops and a McDonald’s,” says Cain, who is now 40 and an established artist herself. In July, she will unveil a major public work of her own, a 150-foot-long series of 37 vividly colorful stained-glass windows, funded by the San Francisco Arts Commission, which she hopes will inspire passers-by in an equally unlikely setting: the new AirTrain terminal at the city’s international airport. Cain lived in San Francisco for 10 years in the late 1990s and early 2000s; she studied art at the San Francisco Art Institute, and later Berkeley, then stayed in the area, making ephemeral large-scale paintings inside the abandoned buildings where her artist friends squatted. The San Francisco airport installation, her first permanent public work, channels the outsider ethos of 1/3 those early pieces as well as the rainbow-colored prismatic compositions of her more recent paintings and drawings, but stained glass is a relatively new medium for her.
