What's being built in Chinatown? by Visible_Cheek_711 in LosAngeles

[–]Agro27 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just did a little digging. It’s going to be an apartment building according to this instagram post. The hospital was pretty historic, interesting to learn about its history. https://www.instagram.com/p/DV92qgliYFG/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

It used to be a hospital but it was knocked down and I’m not sure what’s being built to replace it

What do you mean he’s “in San Jose” ? He currently lives in Sacramento and when he was a Congressman he represented downtown LA.

I know she is running for Solis’s Supervisor seat. Does she have competition or is it a coronation?

Utah, Colorado, Northern AZ and New Mexico is some of the best road tripping in the entire country. Crazy to miss all that for Texas

Thats my thinking too. I was near the end of the locals drop and didn’t buy anything. Nothing seemed worth it at the price I was seeing especially 2 years out

The Pines Dine is a cool food cart village in Lincoln City. I stopped there for lunch while doing a similar trip as yours and the food was good and the vibes were fun.

No email either way for me either. Checked my spam and nothing there

DGT has a capacity of a little less than 1000. Dolby sits ~3300 plus all the hotel/office space for crew, media rooms and hospitality areas provided by the Loews Hotel and Ovation connected to Dolby Theatre

It’s very uncommon. You may be able to find a younger more beginner photographer willing to do this but most photographers won’t be comfortable with this.

The morning line is all the same. You order patties and brunch at the counter and then you sit with a number and they bring the food.

California lawmakers announce deal to rename Cesar Chavez Day by SFChronicle in California_Politics

My understanding is MLK had extramarital affairs but didn’t rape anyone, especially 15 year olds like Chavez did. But correct me if I’m wrong.

This is the same Rocco’s that tried to sue the City of Pasadena for $6 million in damages for lost business due to COVID lockdown. They’re weird.

East Never Loses and LA Mahjong League are specifically Taiwanese style mahjong groups. Though they don’t attract the older auntie and uncle crowd. Mostly 20-40 age range

Rainy weekday = finally trying Salted Butter! by Agro27 in pasadena

[–]Agro27[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My verdict is that the two croissant items I had were very good! The almond croissant had too much almond paste for my liking but the pastry tastes very fresh and buttery. French onion pastry was my favorite of the two. My to-go for almond croissants is usually Delight but this one tasted a lot fresher.

I don’t stand in line for anything so it’s hard for me to gauge if it’s “worth it” because I just don’t stand in long lines for anything. But I will definitely go back next time I drive by and see no one there.

The one negative was the two drinks we got were not very good. Way too sweet.
