Sunday Hotsheet

CD4 candidate Stephen Box gaining at least some online stickiness (beyond that which he generates on his own through hyper-blogging and hyper-tweeting).  LA Weekly picks up the meme started by Paul Hatfield that Box is a master at social networking and maintaining an online presence.  While he is certainly decades ahead of incumbent Tom LeBong and fellow challenger Tomas O'Grady, the test of Box will be can he turn that energy into good old fashioned get out the vote elbow grease.  We shall see.

If you enjoy shopping at the Hollywood Farmers' Market today might have been the last day the popular produce exchange is allowed to operate.  Blogging.la reports that the Market's street closure permits are up for renewal.  The LA Film School which operates on the same street has requested that the street not be closed on Sundays going forward and access to the school's parking lot be made available creating a conundrum for the folks at the City who have to make these decisions.



LAObserved notes that public agencies are making use of the Internet to bypass the dinosaur media to get their stories out.  Now, besides just publishing press releases agencies such as the LA County Sheriff's Department are putting up their own public information websites with formats and content much resembling traditional news sites.  Of course the City of LA Fire Department's Brian Humphrey has been ahead of the curve with this for years being one of the first to publish a blog and was a Twitter early adopter.
