A Guy in LA
For all you CD Catorce fans (and who isn't?) who ache for a brief respite from politics at some point this summer, there is quite a spread over at LAist re Garvanza.
Garvanza?

Garvanza?
Garvanza was a part of the Rancho San Rafael (or Raphael) and earned its name from the local botanical abundance of garbanzo beans that were rumored to have been first planted by Don Julio Verdugo in 1833. Eventually the land located on what is now York Boulevard was held by Ralph and Edward Rogers, who called the area Garvanzo, then Garvanza, and boundaries were established as "Crescent Street on the north, Avenue 66 on the east, North Figueroa Street on the west, and Arroyo Glen Street on the south"

What Boyle Heights used to be.
It's in Highland Park......
Dum Dum
omg wow . for real?
I'd like to see North Hollywood, Toluca Lake and environs, Studio City, Valley Village, parts of Valley Glen and parts of Sun Valley become its own city under the name of City of Lankershim with designated districts reflective of the names above.
Could we make this happen?
BTW ladies Mayor Sam is single and available.
I would rather stab my uterus than date Mayor Sam.
Now that is just rude. At least then put your efforts into NoHo cityhood.
And by the way - a NoHo City Council would be FAR more liberal than the current LA City Council - and that's a risk I am willing to take.
NoHo Chick, that might be one of the funniest comments ever posted here.

Maybe you should read the blog about Garvanza. They make the point that they're NOT in Highland Park - but next door to it.
Mayor Sammie, at 11:21.
Far more liberal???
The last Kremlin inner circle BEFORE the fall of the USSR wasn't more liberal than the current L.A. City Council.
Fidel's "Friends and Family" plan roster on his state-of-the-Cuban-Art analog cell phone isn't more liberal than the current L.A. City Council.
Karl Marx is distancing himself -- from the grave yet, at this very moment.
"Red Ken" Livingstone, Lord Mayor of London, has taken out ads in UK tabloids calling the L.A. City Council radical "pinkos" and lunatic fringe leftists.
If Karl Marx was alive today and saw the Council in action, he would be spinning in his grave!
