Weekend Bullets: Bee invades L.A.!

moratilla.jpg [1]Welcome to LA, Moratilla! [1]

  • Clifford at Asymptotia [2] went to this year’s open house at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Apparently they’re so advanced at JPL that his coverage from last year is worth repeating – and its still cutting edge!
  • Vern at The Hobo Soul [3] profiles a pet groomer who works out of an RV. Her big problem is finding parking – go figure.
  • LAist has launched a new series called LAistory, beginning with a story on Val Verde, “The Black Palm Springs.” [4] Lindsay Williams Ross writes that from 1928 through the 60s, a small Santa Clarita Valley town became a resort community for African Americans.
  • Donna Barstow at Griffith Park, Interrupted [5] writes that the LAFD could have benefitted from water in a now drained Silver Lake reservoir to fight a fire yesterday in Echo Park. She also posts a follow up from a fire department captain that the LAFD is still equipped to handle any emergency, but she remains skeptical.
  • Neil, the perpetual Citizen of the Month [6], is accepting nominations for the poorest bloggers, most down on their luck bloggers. He’s accepting letters from collection agencies and copies of tax statement as proof.
  • Michael Schneider at Franklin Avenue [7] almost posted about a Los Angeles area Dunkin’ Donuts opening… before realizing he’d only seen it in a dream. For some reason, this reminds me of the bleary eyed “time to make the donuts guy,” [8] only this time saying, “time to write the blog posts.”
