INLA and Frontiers Merge and Print One Publication

'IN LA Magazine' and 'Frontiers Magazine', two of the largest publications in Los Angeles are merging. The new publication, to be called, "Frontiers In Los Angeles" premieres February 25, 2009.
Well, that's kinda tricky because they already merged as companies, but published two publications. Now they are merging into one large print publication.
Watch for it...

Beautiful Sky

I was walking home last night from the subway and the sky was beautiful over Hollywood Blvd.

Los Angeles Then and Now

I am on a book buying spree, I don't know what's come over me.
I walked back over to Virgin Megastore on Hollywood Blvd. last night as I went to enjoy the new PinkBerry opening on Hollywood Blvd. near my house with my friend Matt. (It was nice of him to think of me to go do that. YEA! for Matt and the new PinkBerry opening near me.)

Images of "THEN AND NOW" have traditionally fascinated me. I purchased a book last night called "Los Angeles Then and Now."

Here are a few of the images that I thought were interesting. (There are many more too, but that wouldn't be too nice to post them all now would it?)

The 'Ambassador Hotel' Los Angeles (www.theambassadorhotel.com) is gone pecan now, but here are some photos before it was demolished. The new plans for the ground include a school. This was one of the most intriguing to me because of it's one time splendor and of course, abandoned hotels really get me going.
I have an idea that looks like THIS site, which is so funny to come across at this point in time. Cool.
I would have liked to see this palce before it was torn down.

CLICK HERE for an amazing blog as it was torn down and is being rebuilt.

This is the Cahuenga Pass near my apartment in Hollywood. Wow, now that's amazing. ...and that's LA for you huh?


This is a corner that I pass often. I have been past it many times this week and can't believe that it used to be a hotel too. HOT! Wow, what a difference.

This is crazy. This is my street corner. Well, I mean, not really mine, but it's close to where I live. The yellow building is now grey and the building on the corner here that says ROMA is now a discoutn men's suit store. It looks very similar to the second photo, but even "NOW" from "now" it's got some differences. Certainly from the first photo huh? Whoa.


There are some more amazing photos in this book that I plan on leaving out on coffe table at home in Los Angeles.
