If you don't recognize Tito's from these pictures, it's because this is what it…

I thought that if there was one place in Culver City that might be affected by traffic backing up on the 405, it might be this intersection of Washington Pl. and Sepulveda Blvd. But nope. As of 10:00 A.M. on Saturday, all is well. As this picture shows, there seems to be less traffic, if anything.
Good job, Los Angelinos! Maybe we're not as dependent on our…

These openings are free and open to the public -- and are always great places to see some amazing contemporary art, have a couple of plastic cups of cheap white wine, and people-watch.
All the galleries are within a…

If you're thinking about checking out any of the artists in Culver City's Music Festival (thursdays at 7 p.m. in the courtyard of Culver City City Hall), do yourself a favor and make it to see Ghanaian artist Rocky Dawuni and his 11-piece band. Rocky's music is a gentle, bouncy, and uplifting blend of reggae and african sounds, and…

At last night’s city council meeting, Culver City’s councilmen unanimously voted to “opt in” to the state’s “voluntary” payment plan to save the city’s Redevelopment Agency from dissolution.
On June 29, 2011, Governor Jerry Brown signed ABX1 26 and ABX1 27—two pieces of legislation with a profound impact on Culver City’s Redevelopment Agency. ABX1 26…

Last week I was riding the newest part of the Ballona Creek Bike Path with my wife, starting at Kronenthal Park, and heading all the way to the ocean.
While happy to see the section opened after it as closed for years, it was disappointing how rough the path was where it was repaired with asphalt and all the graffiti. Especially when you compare this sections to the beautiful…

Each friday at 6:00 pm, I'll post a picture of something in Culver City that is 'hiding in plain sight.'
This time, it's this swirl of cloth and metal. This one may be tricky. It's not exactly on a main street, but I think if you have seen it, you'd remember it. Do you know where it is?
If you recognize it, enter your response in the…

Appropriate for the 4th of July: Fun in the sun at 'Mud Lake in Culver City', circa 1957.
Uploader 'cgds' explains: "Water skiing at Mud Lake. This is in the same area where the Marina is today. Taken maybe around 1957, the first skier to come to shore is my brother, Dean, and the close up shot is of Mike Sanders. Dick Ireland's family has…

The BrandedArt building in Culver City, a block west of Washington & National, has become quite a magnet for muralists and street artists. There's a new one in the works this very minute. The above shot is from yesterday, and the shot below is from this morning.

Despite the fact that fireworks are banned in Los Angeles and many of its sister cities, they really know how to do the Fourth of July right.
My wife loves firework displays. In LA alone, we've seen fireworks from the Colorado St. bridge in Pasadena for the Rose Bowl show and from the deck of a home in the Palos Verdes hills watching the panorama from Carson's Home Depot to San Pedro's Queen Mary. We watched the Culver City show with neighbors from a…
