DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - In August 2008, the Central City East Association announced that come Jan. 1, 2010, it would stop providing trash removal and other services in Downtown’s Toy District, following a group of property owners’ refusal to renew the local business improvement district.

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - For better or worse, it’s the holiday season, and gifts are in order. That means there’s something in it for you (assuming you’ve been nice and not naughty). But you’ve got to give to get. For those who recoil at the thought of going shopping, toting bags and swiping plastic, the good news is that if you venture to the Historic Core, you don’t have to leave the neighborhood to check off everyone on your list. It’s a great place to pick up a book, a skirt, a bottle of fancy English shaving gel, or a starter classical guitar for less than $30.
