Saturday morning open thread
The Times has a feature on Campaign Strategist Ace Smith this morning, but missing is any mention of a certain bloggin driver, go figure.Mayor Tony V. and a certain award winner held a "PHOTO OP LOVE IN" to tout the LAPD efforts during the May Day marches
"BIG SUNDAY" events all around the city. One will take time to plant a tree today with the official "IF YOU WILL" from Lisa Sarno.
After all there are over 900,000 trees needing a piece of ground in and around the city.
Will $4,000,000 dollars of Union dues and COPE money buy Mark Ridley-Thomas a seat on the Board of Supervisors?
$50,000,000, then $60,000,000, now try $120,000,000 for the cost of the Grand Avenue Civic Park according to the Downtown News.
And flashing back to the "GOOD O' DAYS", what a beautiful weekend it would be to sit at Lincoln Park with "D.Q.", paper bagging, swaying and doing the "ALARCON" with the chulitas to the sounds of Santana, Tierra, War, Los Lobos, Tower of Power, then ending the day with a rumble between Hazard and Clover........
Happy Cinco de Mayo Weekend!!
By the way, we found this little nugget of information in the Downtown Garment and Citizen.

STRANGE BEDFELLOWS AT SIERRA CLUB?: Word on the street says the LA Chapter felt more than a little pressure from the enviro group’s state HQ to endorse John Perez for the 46th District seat in the Assembly...Seems the LA chapter initially voted against endorsing any candidate for the Dems’ primary in June…Well-placed sources say the local’s political committee pushed for a second try at the behest of higher-ups and then strong-armed a nod for Perez, who happens to be a cousin of Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa…Word has it that more than a few local members left the April 27 meeting grumbling about “machine politics.”

Thanks for the nod RSCD14, it would be a great day. I've seen all those groups over the years, too many to count. We partied hard! Those were good times, good food, cervesa flowed asi es agua. I'm grateful you recognized me. It seems I've had some "bad blood" over here with Higby and all. For that I say "perdoneme". I may at times appear an oaf, when in reality I'm merely a lummox.. Thanks again for the heads up. You're my kinda guy!!
PEACE HOMIE!!
Time to sway with the chulitas.
Thought Rita Robinson at LADOT was going to be better than Gloria Jeffs. Not turning out so well.
A group of 20 of us that regularly use parking meters around city buildings and elsewhere-downtown, VN, WLA, etc decided to survey the bad meters.
We checked 300 different meters over two months. 18 percent of the meters were bad and the toll free number on the side of the meters is no good!!!
Wonder how much revenue the city is loosing there?
Another one in DOT that oughta go is Jimmy Price. Two of our group were ticketed by Parking Enforcement before they even had a chance to get out of their cars! Just uping the quotas for job security.
Well, Sierra Club isn't listed on his endorsement page. I'm wondering why anyone would care that much about them anyway. They endorse candidates with some of the worst environmental records in history. So it's not like they're that legit. They're all about politics, much like every other group.
