  • Billy's Apt's 815 Ocean Front walk Venice. She's boarded up now for over a year. I lived there from 1-'74 to 11-96 She's a hundred years old in 2009. She was built to be a weekly rental. Back in the 70's the beach in front of her was legally nude until about '77. The tenants and visitors, famous, infamous and the nobodys, are the laughs and tears of storytelling. She is the stuff stories are made of.

How many students are there now? What was the original enrollment? Have they had a graduating class? Do they have sports teams? What division are they?

  • la times should do a story on this non profit organization that is trying to save the DUNBAR building and save a piece of black history.TCS(through cleaning service)/ALL4GROW are reaching out to jazz/r&b artists and trying to get grants from the government to fund this historical project.This project was a big event 4 afro americans and tearing it down will break the spirits and hope for our people.

  • We need an investigation on our Elected Officials, City Departments, Churches and Non-Profits that have pimped and kept this community of Watts at a stand still for forty years, millions have been alloted for Watts but where and who has the money.

  • I would like to suggest that you do a story on population growth in our small towns within the city of Los Angeles. I believe that uncontrolled population and building growth is what is causing strife and unbearable living conditions in our small "newly discovered gems" which were a lot more peaceful before all the revitalization began.

  • Need follow-up on David Kelly's story May 4, 2008 about Purepecha Indians being evicted from trailer park near Thermal. Have any offers of help been received? What can people do to help? Is anyone organizing help? Can a foundation buy the trailer park, make repairs, forgive back rent and turn it over to a tenants' assn.? Is Sister Gabriella Williams working on it?
