  • Iii. General Description of Environmental Setting
    III. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING Section 15125 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines requires that an EIR include a description of the existing environment. This section is intended to give a general overview of the environmental setting for this project. More detailed information on existing conditions is provided under each individual environmental topic studied in Section IV, Environmental Impact Analysis. This section also provides an overview of the related projects that are considered as part of the future conditions in evaluating cumulative impacts. A. OVERVIEW OF ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING 1. Project Site and Surrounding Area Location As stated in Section II, Project Description, the project site is located in the Wilshire Community Plan Area, approximately 2.5 miles north of the Santa Monica Freeway (I-10). In addition, the northern one-third portion of the project site is located within the Miracle Mile District, a mile-long commercial corridor fronting Wilshire Boulevard from Sycamore Avenue to Fairfax Avenue. The Wilshire and LaBrea Project consists of a residential component and a retail/restaurant component. Specifically, the proposed project is situated on a 147,057-square-foot site that is bound by Wilshire Boulevard to the north, Sycamore Avenue to the east, 8th Street on the south, and La Brea Avenue to the west. Existing Land Uses The Wilshire Community Plan Area has a pattern of low- to medium-density residential uses interspersed with areas of higher-density residential uses. Long, narrow corridors of commercial activity can be found along major boulevards, including Wilshire Boulevard. The Miracle Mile District consists of a mixture of commercial, retail, upscale restaurants, and museums that are very popular destinations for tourists.

  • Alum Gail Silverton Operates Gelato Shop in Studio City
    Silverton family honors a legacy of Food and Community Page 1 of 5 Categories: COVER STORY Date: Jun 19, 2008 Title: Silverton family honors a legacy of Food and Community BY PAULINE ADAMEK Silverton family honors a legacy of Food and Community The Silverton family legacy connects food and community (R-L: Gail Silverton, Andreas Krankl, Larry Silverton,Nancy Silverton, Joel Gutman). www.robertevans.com Silverton family honors a legacy of Food and Community BY PAULINE ADAMEK The story of the Silverton family is a fascinating tale of how many successful businesses have been developed and nurtured, creating a legacy that entwines food with community. Importantly, these enterprises are driven more by heart than by fiscal reward, and reap greater successes than anyone had anticipated. This tale starts with a benevolent patriarch, Lawrence S. Silverton. A construction lawsuit-attorney, savvy businessman, real estate tycoon and coffee, calligraphy and motorcycle enthusiast, Larry used his business acumen and support to enable his two daughters, Nancy and Gail, to make an indelible mark on the Los Angeles landscape and beyond. Now he’s assisting his six grandchildren in their studies and burgeoning business enterprises. Larry Silverton’s Story: Born in South Dakota, Larry moved to Sherman Oaks and started a family with his wife, Doris. When most mothers in the 1950s were taking advantage of labor-saving technologies, Doris, a journalist and writer, taught her daughters the goodness of lentils, goat’s cheese and a beautifully set table. This gave the Silverton sisters an appreciation of the heart and hearth of family and a desire, later, to create a product and environment that could contribute to the community.

    Monday, May 24, 2021 | No. 169 When Star Wars opened May 25, 1977 no one but Steven Spielberg thought it would be a hit. George Lucas had been turned down by Universal, United Artists and Disney before pitching 20th Century Fox his sci-fi epic inspired by 1930's serials like Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers, the 1966 TV series Star Trek and Frank Herbert's 1965 novel Dune. Fox creative affairs chief Alan Ladd, Jr. greenlighted SW, but Fox's distribution arm never considered it a likely hit. Fox marketers wanted to change the title because moviegoers might think Star Wars was about the Vietnam War or, perhaps, superstars Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's divorce. When Lucas screened a rough cut for some director pals, they weren't impressed. Brian De Palma reportedly called it the "worst movie" ever made. Spielberg, however, predicted SW would be "the biggest movie of all time." Lucas thought SW was doomed and skipped its premiere to vacation with Spielberg in Hawaii where they heard SW was a boxoffice phenomenon and then came up with a new project to do together -- Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), the first Indiana Jones blockbuster. Exhibitors were reluctant to book SW, thinking only kids and sci-fi buffs would buy tickets, so it opened at just 32 theatres. Two days later, it was in 43 theatres and a week later in 157. It peaked in mid-August at 1,096, a very wide run then. Produced for $11 million, its original release did $461 million domestically and $196 million abroad – huge numbers at Theatrical Poster for Star Wars, the time.

    Monday, April 26, 2021 | No. 165 One of the things moviegoers like most about going to theatres is seeing films on the Big Screen, "the way they were meant to be seen." What people don't realize is that when films started in the mid-1890s, there were neither screens nor projectors. The very short films of that era were meant to be seen individually by looking into peep show machines in arcades. Those Kinetoscope devices were one of many inventions from Thomas Edison's factory in West Orange, NJ. Since Edison was monetizing his Kinetoscopes quite well, he had no interest in developing a machine to project film images on walls. Others, however, saw a big future in showing films to groups of people. Peep show owners, in fact, were very vocal in pressing Edison to devise a Film projection to large audiences was much more way to show life size images on arcade walls. This led to the Vitascope profitable than viewing through individual kiosks, since projection system, developed by Washington, DC inventor Thomas Armat, fewer machines were needed in proportion to the but then marketed by Edison's organization as if it were his own invention. number of viewers - Click to Play The first public Vitascope screening took place April 23, 1896 at Koster & Biel's Music Hall, a vaudeville house in New York's Herald Square at 34th Street near Broadway, the site today of Macy's. It would have premiered three days earlier, but it took longer than expected to install the machinery. That first night audience was dazzled by film images projected on a 20 foot canvas screen set within a gilded frame.
