What or who did you see this Halloween in Culver…

According to the sign that has been posted on the former Famima Convenience Store at Overland Ave. and Venice Blvd., SmashBurger is coming to Culver City. Looks good, and the La Jolla location (for example) has mostly 4- and 5-star reviews on Yelp. Count me in.

The evidence:…

There's a new mural in progress behind The Wood restaurant in West Culver City. It's by muralist Mear One, a Los Angeles-based artist known for his often-political street graffiti art. The people I talk to about street art are really psyched about it -- Mear One is a big deal. I definitely admire it's dynamic quality, but I worry about the didactic "GMO" there on the…

I had previously reported that the new construction on the southeast corner of Sepulveda and Washington Blvds would likely be home to a Chase Bank, a Starbucks, a Chipotle restaurant, and Jersey Mike's Sub shop. Now a new banner on the…

Los Angeles Times Theater Critic Charles McNulty reviewed the new play at the Actors' Gang Theatre, saying "there are hearty laughs to be had from this scattershot spray of silliness from 1775."

He continues: "True, the goofy flamboyance often seems a tad effortful. But the fireworks of Sheridan's verbal wit are still mesmerizing. Whenever the focus shifts from the central lovers to the tyrannical patriarch Sir Anthony Absolute and the linguistically…

As one of the happy legion who take the Expo Line from Culver City to downtown Los Angeles, I have tried to be patient with the Culver City parking lot. I understand that the city has probably been reluctant to invest much money in improving the lot, since construction is supposedly eminent on a mixed-use development that will transform the lot. But now months and have passed,…

It's always fun to hear different takes on what is going on at Culver City's Museum of Jurassic Technology. The appreciative befuddlement expressed by Sam McManis' article in the October 14 Sacramento Bee is typically amusing.

To celebrate the opening of The Rivals at The Actor's Gang Theatre (and the troupe's 30th anniversary) Tim Robbins and Actors Gang co-founder David Schweizer dropped by KCRW to talk to Which Way, LA? host Warren Olney about "the challenge and fun of making a show with period language come alive…

Over the weekend…

Invertigo Dance Theatre is presenting three Sunday dance programs in October at the Brasil Brasil Cultural Center in Culver City.
