In a move that will help prepare for the expected onslaught of visitors to its “Star Wars” land opening in two years, Disneyland Resort is adding more parking spaces to its off- site parking lot . Disneyland got unanimous approval from the Anaheim Planning Commission last week to add an additional 455 parking spaces to its Toy Story lot off Harbor Boulevard and Convention Way. Guests parking there are shuttled over to the theme parks’ entrance. The Toy Story lot will increase to 5, 378 parking spaces . Disney charges a $20 parking fee. “We’re pleased to be able to offer even more parking options for our guests,” said George Savvas, a Disneyland spokesman.

A rendering of San Pedro Public Market Image courtesy LA Waterfront Alliance The redevelopment of Ports O' Call Village has been decades in the making. The village opened in 1963 with cobblestone streets, souvenir and gift shops and seafood restaurants. Now there are plans to change the New England- style seaside village into the modern steel and glass San Pedro Public Market . In 2013, the Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners called for the redevelopment of the waterfront site , and in 2016 the board approved a 50-year lease for an expansion of the village in the style of San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf. Mike Galvin is the Director of Waterfront and Commercial Real Estate at the Port of Los Angeles. "Part of the [Port of LA's] mission there is to make the waterfront accessible to the public and we view through this development we will really do that on a very large scale by creating this half a mile promenade down the main channel of the Port of Los An...

More than three years after the proposal for new apartments and retail at 2340 N. California Avenue first surfaced, the project’s developers have finally broken ground . According to developers Hunt Investment Management and Savoy Development , workers have finally begun constructing a new six-story building at the site. The project, which currently does not have a formal name or branding yet, will eventually deliver 138 apartments , 44 vehicle parking spaces , and roughly 9, 000 square feet of ground floor retail space to the booming Logan Square neighborhood by fall 2018.

As a late- blooming Civil War buff , I have mixed feelings about the recently renewed national push to remove Confederate monuments across the nation. On one hand, the removal of hundreds of Confederate and related statues bears a troubling resemblance to efforts by Soviet dictator Josef Stalin or the Islamic State to selectively erase inconvenient history . But when President Donald Trump decided to weigh in on the side of preserving public Confederate icons as “beautiful,” my dilemma vanished. Trump managed to be for them in a way that turned me against them. “Sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments,” he wrote in a series of tweets. “You can’t change history, but you can learn from it. Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson — who’s next? Washington, Jefferson? So foolish! Also the beauty that is being taken out of our cities, towns and parks will be greatly missed and never able to be comparabl...
