YOU ARE WALKING ON YOUR OWN ACCORD. THE GREAT LOS ANGELES WALK IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU OR YOUR ACTIONS ON THE WALK. BE SAFE AND BE SMART! ABOUT THE GREAT LOS ANGELES WALK L.A. journalist and blogger Michael Schneider launched the Great Los Angeles Walk in 2006 as a way to celebrate his tenth year in Los Angeles. Inspired by the book “Wilshire Boulevard,” by Kevin Roderick, he decided to walk the street’s entire length. In 2007, for an encore, he chose another downtown-to-the-ocean route: Pico Boulevard, followed by Santa Monica Blvd. in 2008. In 2009, the event kicked off in the historic West Adams district and walked to Venice Beach via Adams and Washington. In 2010, for its fifth edition, the Great Los Angeles Walk reprised its original Wilshire journey. In 2011, participants marched to the ocean via Hollywood Boulevard; then came Melrose Avenue (2012), Sunset Boulevard (2013), Ventura Boulevard (2014), Olympic Boulevard (2015), a return to Pico (2016), and Beverly Boulevard (2017).

    S Beverly Hills Epitomizes Upscale Travel

    California’s Beverly Hills Epitomizes Upscale Travel by Lee Foster Travel in the United States has become decidedly upscale, for some. Observers of travel have watched as this measurable trend developed. For a small, but identifiable segment of travelers, price is no object. What is of concern is the highest quality in accommodations, dining, and experience. This is the traveler whom every destination now seeks to woo. For the majority of travelers, reports on this privileged minority amount to armchair or fantasy travel, an act of vicarious gratification. Nowhere in the U.S. is the phenomenon of upscale travel better expressed than in Beverly Hills , CA . This writer on one occasion immersed himself in this elite travel environment. It is fitting that here the movie industry, the makers of illusion, also finds its home. Beverly Hills passed its 90th birthday in 2004 and headed confidently towards 100. The old gal isn’t allowing herself to show her age, of course, because plenty of cosmetic surgery is ongoing in the hotels, shops, and restaurants. “We see ourselves as an oasis where the traveler can find the highest quality goods, the best hotels and restaurants, and the ultimate in service,” said the Beverly Hills ‘ mayor. LODGINGS: STARTING AT RAFFLES L’ERMITAGE Raffles L’Ermitage Hotel in Beverly Hills may well be the choicest lodging in America . Such objective observers as AAA and Mobil have awarded it their coveted five star/diamond ratings, which are tough to get and rarely coincide in one property. L’Ermitage enjoys plenty of competition in Beverly Hills from the Beverly Hills Hotel, Regent Beverly Wilshire, and Beverly Hilton.

    WPSA Dining in Los Angeles FINAL

    W E S T E R N P O L I T I C A L S C I E N C E A S S O C I A T I O N 2 0 2 0 Dining in Los Angeles A S C O M P I L E D B Y M I C H A E L " S O H I P I T H U R T S " G E N O V E S E Wolfgang Puck claims Los Angeles is the best restaurant city in the world. 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).

    Malled by West!eld: The Consequences of Corporate Property Tax Avoidance August 2013 LG:dso opeiu 537, a!-cio 8/13 Executive Summary With 21 shopping malls statewide, the West"eld Group is California’s largest retail landlord. It is also a leader in corporate tax avoidance. The West"eld Group routinely publishes two di#erent values for its properties in California. The "rst value, which it reports to shareholders, is high. The second value, which it reports to the state, is low. As a result, we estimate that West"eld underpays property taxes by about $41 million per year.1 If West"eld paid its fair share of taxes, it would bring in additional annual revenues of: $18.7 million for Los Angeles County; $8.1 million for San Diego County; and $9.8 million for Santa Clara County. Such additional revenues could be spent to improve public education, bolster police and "re services and generally raise the quality of public services across the State of California. 1 The authors have examined assessed values and shareholder reported values for all of .BMMFECZ8FTUöFME5IF$POTFRVFODFTPG$PSQPSBUF1SPQFSUZ5BY"WPJEBODFt"VHVTU West!eld: A Global Giant and California’s Largest Retail Landlord The West"eld Group (WDC), by market value, is the largest retail property group in the world and the ninth largest company on the Australian Stock Exchange.2 Sydney-based West"eld owns and operates 100 malls in Australia, New Zealand, the United States and the United Kingdom with 21,997 retail outlets in 9.5 million square meters of retail space.3 In 2012, West"eld malls had more than 1.1 billion customer visits, which generated $41.5 billion in retail sales.4 West"eld’s global property portfolio was valued at $66.5 billion.5 In 2012, West"eld made a net pro"t of $1.78 billion and was managing a $12.44 billion development pipeline.6 By most measures, the United States is the company’s largest and most important market.

    38th Annual Awards Booklet 2011 - 2012 Southern California Restaurant Writers The Southern California Restaurant Writers, a California non-profit organiza- tion, was established thirty-eight years ago by Doris Crandall. The ultimate goal is to aid and improve the restaurant industry in the Southern California area. To further this goal, SCRW awards individuals and restaurants whose standards of quality and service have been found to be of special merit. 2011 marks our 37th year presenting awards to restaurateurs, their management and staff members for outstanding dedication in this industry. SCRW publishes for the general public the recipients of these awards and also features the information on their website- www.southerncaliforniarestaurantwriters.com. In an effort to advance the education of worthy individuals in the fields of restaurant service, enology, and the culinary arts, SCRW established a scholarship program, now called The Doris Crandall Scholarship Fund. Since its inception the scholarship program, which is administered by SCRW, has donated in excess of one hundred twenty-five thousand dol- lars to recipients that in past years have included students attending and participating in various culinary programs available at community colleges in Southern California including San Bernardino Valley College, Orange Coast Collage, Golden West College, Glendale College, Riverside Community Col- lege, Santa Barbara Community College, and the Oxnard College Founda- tion. Our process of evaluation is based on a point system. Those restaurants that receive eighty to one hundred points, based on a number of categories- food, service, appropriate beverages, parking, and ambiance, create a very distinct group that we honor with our annual awards banquet.

She said her beloved pet had been missing for five or six days when a neighbor called her and said she found Wally’s body on her lawn. “When I saw that cat and how he’d been killed, I knew it was a coyote,” Rotblatt said. “It was the same night that a white duck was killed by a coyote in the park. And my neigh- bor said she had heard a huge fight happen between a cat and coyotes in the bushes out- side her window.” LOCAL BOYS Brandon Wise [email protected] Wally isn’t the first cat in recent memory Drummer Anthony Logerfo of the band Venice warms up with the rest of the group at Thursday night's Santa Monica Pier Twilight Dance Series.
