Late Wednesday Afternoon Hotsheet

Just the best skid row adjacent diner in Los Angeles!

Mayor Villaraigosa is losing Jeff Carr, his Chief of Staff. The 47 year old Carr held a mid day meeting with staff today to make the announcement.

British Royalty is coming to Skid Row! Prince William and Catherine will be paying a visit to the area when they visit Los Angeles this week.  I recommend that they pop into the Nickel Diner for a vegan ranchero while they're in the neighborhood.


SB48 is headed to the governor's desk for his signature. This bill would require public schools to add the contributions of the gay & lesbian community to the social studies curriculum. "This bill will require California schools to present a more accurate and nuanced view of American history in our social science curriculum by recognizing the accomplishments of groups that are not often recognized," said Assembly Speaker John Perez, the first openly gay speaker of the California Assembly. The bill passed mainly on a party vote as Republicans are afraid that SB48 will force the  indoctrination of children to accept homosexuality.
