WWW.LAWEEKLY.COM AARP thanks the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee for standing up for Californians and passing AB 824. This legislation would prohibit brand-name drug companies from paying generic manufacturers to delay the release of lower priced drugs. AARP strongly supports this important fi rst step towards ending the anti-competitive practices of big drug companies and lowering prescription drug prices for everyone. Too many people are struggling to make ends meet while the big drug companies continue to rake in billions. AARP encourages the entire Senate to pass AB 824, and put a stop to drug company price gouging. facebook.com/AARPCalifornia @AARPCA AARP.org/CA Paid For by AARP 4 L August 2-8, 2019 // Vol. 41 // No. 37 // laweekly.com WEEKLY WEEKLY LA POLLUTION DON’T JUST RECOGNIZE A PROBLEM.

  • Christian Ricci Behind the Scenes in New York – Fall 2020 Assignment #1 October 05, 2020 1 Opened in 1973 on Bowery in Manhatt
    Christian Ricci Behind the Scenes in New York – Fall 2020 Assignment #1 October 05, 2020 Opened in 1973 on Bowery in Manhattan’s East Village, CBGB was a bar and music venue which features prominently in the history of American punk rock, New Wave and Hardcore music genres. The club’s owner, Hilly Kristal, was always involved with music and musicians, having worked as a manager at the legendary jazz club Village Vanguard booking acts like Miles Davis. When CBGB first opened its doors in the early seventies the venue featured mostly country, blue grass, and blues acts (thus CBGB) before transitioning over to punk rock acts later in the decade. Many well know performers of the punk rock era received their start and earliest exposure at the club, including the Ramones, Patti Smith, Television, Blondie, and Joan Jett. During the New Wave era, performers like Elvis Costello, Talking Heads and even early performances from the Police graced the stage in the now legendary venue. Located at 315 Bowery, which is situated near the northern section of Bowery before it splits into 3rd and 4th Avenues at Cooper square, the original building on the site was constructed in 1878 and was used as a tenement house for 10 families with a shop (liquor store) on the ground floor. In 1934, 315 and 313 were combined into one building and the façade was redesigned and constructed in the Art Deco style, as documented in the 1940 tax photo. At that time, the building was occupied by the Palace Hotel with a ground floor saloon.
