    East Los Angeles Should Not Be Lumped with the Hollywood Hills, Si... Subject: East Los Angeles Should Not Be Lumped with the Hollywood Hills, Silver Lake, and Los Feliz! From: Franziska WiƩenstein < Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2011 10:47:52 -0700 To: Commissioners, CiƟzens RedistricƟng Commission 901 P Street, Suite 154-A Sacramento, CA 95814 Commissioners: When you Commissioners were picked, many of us in Los Angeles (and many in the media) were concerned that none of you lived in the City of Los Angeles. We were told not to worry, that you understood the region and would draw fair maps. We’ve also been told, throughout the process, that the era of odd-shaped, gerrymandered districts, featuring odd pairings of communiƟes, were over. Then, in your iniƟal draŌ maps, you proposed a district lumping together the Hollywood Hills, Los Feliz, Silver Lake, and East Los Angeles! To get there, the district lines cross the Los Angeles River and dart around Downtown Los Angeles, making the district as bizarrely shaped as anything the poliƟcians ever drew. It will be extremely difficult for whomever is in elected in that district to represent those communiƟes. Those communiƟes are as different as can be. We, the undersigned, strongly urge you to draw more sensible maps. East Los Angeles (and Lincoln Heights, etc.) should be together with other eastside communiƟes so that residents there can elect a repeƟƟve of their choosing. The communiƟes of Hollywood Hills, Los Feliz, and Silver Lake are not “eastside.” No porƟon of those communiƟes are east of Downtown or east of the Los Angeles River.

    Celebrity Homes Map Hollywood Hills Guide to Stars in Hollywood Hills ・ 60 Addresses The information contained in this document is exclusive property of StarMap, Inc. You agree that the service StarMap® provides is for informational purposes only and is subject to the Terms & Conditions. ​ ​ Welcome to the Hollywood Hills. If you are coming here to explore the nature of humanity at it’s most upscale, pristine and creative form, you have come to the right place. There are two unique qualities that make Hollywood Hills such a desired destination for celebrities and tourists alike; the terrain and of course the Stars that inhabit the region. The Hollywood Hills are the part of the Santa Monica Mountains, which makes them incredibly, well, hilly. Hills as we know aren’t flat, so they are difficult to build on. This creates for some creative and unique architectural opportunities for folks with dreams, ambition and money; the resources that come in abundance in this area. The Hollywood Hills isn’t your typical neighborhood, you won’t find two houses alike in this region. You won’t find apartment complexes, condo units and other standardized living in this area. Due to the diversity of land formations, each home is different from the next. The diversity of the twenty some odd thousand people that live in this 7 square mile is quite diverse as well. Not everyone that lives in The Hills is a television star or otherwise even some one that’s known. However, reading down the list of notable residents is like reading a list of the Golden Globes nominations — the stars that you’ve grown to love over a lifetime more than likely own a residence here.

CA-105 Location: Griffith Park, 4730 Crystal Springs Drive, Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California. Latitude: 34.133970 Longitude: -118.288494 (center of picnic area, iTouchMaps.com) Griffith Park is a 4,310 acre, Los Angeles city park in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles, California. The park is located 6 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles, at the eastern end of the Santa Monica Mountains. The north and east borders of the park are adjacent to the 134 Freeway (Ventura), and the 5 Freeway (Golden State). The south border is Los Feliz Boulevard, but including the Municipal Plunge and playground, south of the boulevard, and to the west are the residences of the Los Feliz and the Hollywood Hills areas. Significance: Griffith Park is Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument No. 942, adopted on January 27, 2009. Colonel Griffith J. Griffith donated the 3,015-acre property to the City of Los Angeles in 1896, and still it remains the largest private land gift for Los Angeles, and has mostly an untouched landscape in the center of an urban metropolis. Large portions of this landscape appear to retain integrity dating back to the period of native American land use. Within the park are some of the city’s most iconic treasures – Griffith Observatory and the Hollywood Sign, also Historic Cultural Monuments, as well as the Feliz Adobe, and a Gabrielino Indian site.1 Griffith Park Zoo (Old Zoo) was built in 1913, and is “inset at the north-facing base of hills forming Spring Canyon, below Old Zoo Trail.”2 The zoo closed in 1966 with the opening of the Los Angeles Zoo.

  • Myths About Living in Los Angeles
    There are many pre-conceived notions floating around about Los Angeles. Are your ideas of LA based more on Hollywood than on reality? Here are some top myths and misconceptions about the City of Angels. 1. The weather is always sunny and warm. While it is mainly sunny in LA throughout the year, contrary to popular belief, LA does get chilly. Chilly meaning it dips into the low 50s and 40s, especially in the winter months of December – January. In fact, a layer of marine clouds that hangs over the city throughout the summer, known as June gloom, makes most mornings overcast until around noon. Even more: it rains. So you won’t need to retire your winter jacket or umbrella just yet! (Photo: Calvin Fleming/Flickr) 2. It’s overcrowded! With about 4 million people in 468 square miles, LA is crowded. It is the second most populous area in the U.S., besides New York City. However, there are over 80 neighborhoods spread out throughout the city. There are always places like Malibu, scenic hiking trails, and other quieter, more-removed areas to go to if you feel overwhelmed. And you don’t have to go very far because right here on campus, UCLA has expansive green lawns, a 7-acre botanical garden, and a 5-acre sculpture garden where you can relax and take in the greenery. (Photo: waltarrrrr/Flickr) 3. People are rich, fake, spoiled, stuck-up, and everyone is rude! And what city doesn’t have people that are like this? In LA, there are very rich people, very poor people, and people in-between.

  • West Hollywood General Plan Baseline Land Use Background Report
    West Hollywood General Plan Baseline Land Use Background Report This report documents 2008 baseline land use conditions and identifies preliminary land use issues relevant to the update of the West Hollywood General Plan Land Use Element. This information provides a context for exploring opportunities for land use change over the long term (20-year period). The information presented in this report will be used, along with background reports on other topics, to develop land use policies and objectives for the General Plan update. Geographic Context West Hollywood is located approximately eight miles west of downtown Los Angeles. The City encompasses 1.9 square miles of land area, with a maximum east-west length of approximately 2.9 miles at the extent of its pan-handle shape. The City of Los Angeles surrounds West Hollywood to the north, south and east, with the communities of the Hollywood Hills, the Fairfax District, and Hollywood, respectively. To the west, the City is bounded by Beverly Hills. West Hollywood lies at the base of the Hollywood Hills. South of Santa Monica Boulevard, the topography is relatively flat, but moving north from Santa Monica Boulevard, the terrain slopes upward, with fairly steep inclines up many of the streets heading toward Sunset Boulevard. Major east-west roadways are Santa Monica Boulevard, Sunset Boulevard, and to a lesser extent Melrose Avenue and Beverly Boulevard. No freeways directly access the City, with the nearest freeway, State Route 101, located over two miles to the east and accessed via either Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles or Highland Avenue near the Hollywood Bowl.

    Cahuenga Representing the Cahuenga Pass Since 1952 Pass www.cppoa.org Property Owners Association YOUR CAHUENGA PASS PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION P.O. Box 1655 Hollywood, CA 90078 WORKS FOR YOU! Here is a list of accomplishments by the Cahuenga Pass Property Owners Association: CPPOA demanded the removal of Caltrans signs on Universal Studios Blvd ("the bridge") directing traffic to the Barham Blvd on-ramp, rather than to NBCU's new 101SB "drop-ramp" or the Lankershim on-ramp which has been improved to carry increased traffic. Caltrans agreed and the signage has been replaced. At CPPOA's request, NBCUniversal will provide additional landscaping at the site of the recently-closed Barham off-ramp. CPPOA Board members worked with NBCUniversal personnel and architect Bob Hale of Rios Clementi Hale for over a year on the re-design of our local El Paseo de Cahuenga Park, and the complete renovation of the park was recently completed. CPPOA board members attended all scoping meetings and City of L.A. hearings for the NBCUniversal Evolution Plan and responded in writing to the Environmental Impact Reports. In cooperation with our sister organizations, CPPOA was able to convince NBCU to eliminate the residential component of the Plan that would have added 3,000 new residences on NBCU's historic back lot and approximately 6,000 added trips per day on Barham Boulevard. CPPOA obtained official City Hall and City Planning Department recognition of the Cahuenga Pass as a distinct community of its own with signs posted to demarcate our neighborhood. CPPOA was able to stop the conversion of the present With our sister organizations, we persuaded NBCUniversal conventional Universal billboard at the 101 and Barham to re-design its bicycle path to conform to the Friends of Blvd to digital and limit its elevation to no more than 30'.

  • About Hollywood Sign
    Intermediate Level SIGN. What is the Hollywood sign? The Hollywood Sign is an American landmark and cultural icon overlooking Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. It is situated on Mount Lee, in the Hollywood Hills area of the Santa Monica Mountains. "HOLLYWOOD" is spelled out in 45 ft-tall white capital letters and is 350 feet long. Can you go to Hollywood sign? The closest you can get to the Hollywood Sign is up and above it and that location is accessible by several hikes within Griffith Park. The overlook of the Sign offers a unique view of the Sign and incredible views of Los Angeles that can span from the ocean to downtown LA and beyond on a clear day. How long does it take to hike to the Hollywood sign? Two hours.The trail is 3.3 miles and can take up to two hours. When was the Hollywood sign built? At night the billboard flashed in four stages: “Holly,” then “Wood,” then “Land” and then the entire word, “Hollywoodland.” Newspaper articles from the time show that the sign was completed in 1923; however, the exact date is disputed. Can you touch the Hollywood sign? Unfortunately, for your safety, the safety of the plants and wildlife of Griffith Park, and for the safety of the Sign, you cannot. The closest you can get to the Hollywood Sign is up and above it and that location is accessible by several hikes within Griffith Park. www.myonlinelanguage.blog Write down a historical place that you know or a place that you visited in your country or abroad.
