Higuera and Lucerne Development gets major pushback from Culver City neighborhood.

November 14th, 2008 by jsnark · No Comments

The neighborhood around the intersection of Higuera and Lucerne has local residents up in arms.  Currently this area is pretty quiet, save for the people rushing to and from work at Culver Studios and other area business parks.

The signs tell people to visit www.RanchoHigueraCoalition.com but as you’ll see, there’s not much information there.  Feel free to use this LA Snark post as a place to gather and post your opinion on this development.

“Engine cleaning every two years, 30,000 miles is required for the vehicle,” the technician says.

Why I’m not going to see The Smashing Pumpkins when they come to LA

November 11th, 2008 by jsnark · 5 Comments

Now I actually wrote this article before reading the Rolling Stone article, but after reading that it looks like it’s time to post.

First off, Billy.. don’t hate me. I want to believe, and I will continue buying everything SP ever releases.
