OPINION: DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - There is good news and bad news concerning a July 8 report from the California High-Speed Rail Authority. The good news is that plans are progressing on a $40 billion bullet-train network across the state, and that Union Station in Downtown Los Angeles will serve as one of the hubs. This is appropriate, and will enhance the structure that is already a nexus of rail travel. It will bring even more activity to Downtown.

OPINION: DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - Those who book raves at the Coliseum and Sports Arena dodged a bullet recently, when the commission that oversees Exposition Park stopped short of canceling some of the massive dance/electronic music festivals, and instead delivered a sort of “last chance” warning to promoters. Organizers of the events in the publicly owned spaces are now compelled to prohibit minors from entering and must have medical teams on site.

OPINION: DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - Over the past two weeks, much talk, on the street and online, has been devoted to the abrupt closing of popular Downtown wine bar The Must. The situation has sparked anger and frustration replete with accusations and counter accusations. We are not opining in this space about who was right or wrong, who said what and when or who did what and when. We are noting instead the need for an important if nettlesome reminder: Any new business, no matter the size, needs to arm itself with the best legal advice its owners can afford.
