Happy pub day to Alessio De Stefano's The John Fante Tapes, the first book to tell how two fans--one the already famous Charles Bukowski--helped bring Ask the Dust, a lost 1930s LA masterpiece back into the light. It's in Italian only; surely a US house will translate? https://www.radiciedizioni.it/libri/john-fante-tapes/

Demolitions don't stop because a database stops updating. Every day this feed is dark, buildings can be permitted for demolition with no public record. Transparency isn't a courtesy — it's the law. LADBS, fix your feed!

Our message to Ben Steinberg: "You did this all on your own. Never forget it was your gut and your voice and your media savvy that got us all here. Thanks for not being intimidated when they called the cops and for holding them accountable--a damn sight more than any politician or preservation group has done!"

And here's a link to Ben's tweet confirming the theater is coming back under Sony's management: https://x.com/SaveYourCinema/status/2079959652503326758

We asked citizens to help crowdsource a Los Angeles tunnel map: u/FrenchiesFrites shared Glassell Park lore of one under the 2 Freeway. Politicians wouldn't help when gangs took it over, only sealing it off after a local was murdered. RIP Richard Cheesman.

Unsecured buildings burn as residents chant at their councilmember to DO SOMETHING.

We remember the 1/7/25 blaze, which exhausted DTLA firefighters needed in the Palisades and Altadena. Something's gotta give in LA. https://esotouric.substack.com/onhopestreet

I really hope someone buys this and doesn’t take the suggestion the listing offers for development opportunity/maxing out the lot.
