We'll Be Right Back, After This...

It almost feels like a job, this activism thing. It's 5:39 PM...and I woke up with everyone on skid row this morning at 5:30 AM. So by the time public comment rolls around 10:30 AM -- I'm already so burnt and so tired I can barely think and speak.

But, City Councilmembers are not the only ones having meetings downtown after the council meetings. So does Zuma Dogg...and I just finished my third lunch today (when it rains it pours/no food for days, then three nice lunches in ONE day) and am at a library getting ready to type up all my notes from the past 48 hours. So look for a new post later this evening or tomorrow morning.

ZUMA DOGG WILL BE AT THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH "JAMIEL'S LAW" PETITIONS TO SIGN. Thanks to Kevin James and Walter Moore for helping hook up ZD with some Jamiel's Law petitions to have people sign! (JamielsLaw.com) So maybe Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa will stop by council chambers to sign the petition -- OR IF YOU WANT TO COME DOWN TO CITY HALL FOR THE FINAL MEETING BEFORE THE FOURTH OF JULY BREAK, you can sign the petition. Plus, you can put in a card for public comment on some issues on the agenda (I'll break down the shady items for you) and it will be a nice chance to catch up on important things going on in your area.

But meanwhile, I'm going to walk around Downtown a little right now, then type up an update later.

ZD'S BOTTOM LINE TAKE ON DOWNTOWN THOUGH: It's DEAD and will never be anything but dead. I am at the library. If I want a juice/can of cat food/cigar/lunch, I gotta walk several long blocks. HAVE YOU SMART GROWTH DUMMIES BEEN TO NEW YORK CITY?!?!?

YOU CAN LIVE YOUR ENTIRE LIFE WITHOUT EVER HAVING TO CROSS THE STREET!!!

EVERY BLOCK HAS A CLEANERS, GROCERY MARKET, RESTAURANT, RETAIL STORES, GYMS, ETC.

LA CITY DOWNTOWN is a place where people who work for the City/County inhabit; or you are coming down to the wholesale district. The malls are DEAD by 3pm. This city is a ghost town at night. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? THIS AIN'T SAN FRAN AND IT AIN'T CHICAGO AND IT AIN'T NEW YORK! Y'ALL ARE SO CRAZY AND DELUSIONAL. BETTER COME UP WITH A NEW PLAN FOR DOWNTOWN CAUSE THE "LUXURY GRAND AVENUE" ANGLE AIN'T GONNA CUT IT!
