  1. L.A. business improvement districts' value questioned

    When the bike patrols suddenly ended in downtown Los Angeles' arts district last month, junk began to pile up against the curb on Seaton Street.

  2. 'Much Ado About Nothing': A DIY film project at Joss Whedon's home

  5. Southern California architecture: the missing early years from PSTP

    Two years ago, when the Getty Trust helped organize and fund more than five dozen exhibits on 20th century art in Los Angeles, a massive enterprise it labeled "Pacific Standard Time," it wasn't difficult to guess which era the museum would focus on. It was clearly going to be the postwar period, and the 1950s, '60s and '70s in particular.

  7. With modern architecture spotlighted, PST series looks beyond landmarks

    There's sure to be much to pore over in &quot;Overdrive: L.A. Constructs the Future, 1940-1990," the ambitious anchor show of the Getty's Pacific Standard Time series on modern architecture in and around Los Angeles. But it's on the periphery of this giant undertaking, which is funding nine major exhibitions and will sprawl across the calendar from early spring to midsummer, where the real surprises are most likely to be found. That's especially true of the shows aiming to look beyond well-known midcentury landmarks and reassess the work of the L.A. architects who emerged in the 1960s and '70s and challenged orthodox modernism in a range of ways.

  9. Start the Presses: Recovering from a wrenching experience

    I walk around my neighborhood with a long-handled socket wrench now. The metal has a comforting heaviness.

  10. A Venice remodel and addition rooted in a beloved tree

    Some homeowners might consider a 20-foot <em>Ficus nitida</em> rooted in the middle of a 5,400-square-foot lot to be a liability, especially when planning a major remodel. But architect Carlos Zubieta isn't one of those people.
