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…

This Saturday (tonight), between 6 and 8 p.m., eleven galleries in Culver City's Art District will celebrate the openings of new shows.

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.

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?
