Crime, zoning, marijuana stores on LVNA agenda
Wall’s collapse symbolized by Wilshire event To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Wende Museum is staging “Wall Across Wilshire.” The museum will erect, and then topple a 60-foot-long symbolic representation of the wall across Wilshire Blvd. and Ogden Ave. on Sun., Nov. 8 beginning at 11 p.m. In anticipation of the event, an exhibit of eight original sections of the 96-mile concrete Berlin Wall are on display on the lawn of the 5900 Wilshire Blvd. building through Sat., Nov. 14.
EIGHT original sections.
The five-foot wide panels have been purchased by the Culver City-based museum, which houses an archive of Eastern Europe and former Soviet block cold war culture. The wall’s collapse on Nov. 9, 1989, signified the end of the division between West and East Germany and later, the end of the Communist rule in East Germany. A replica wall will be erected across Wilshire Blvd. Preceding its fall, donors will attend a fundraiser for the museum featuring German chanteuse Ute Lemper, a DJ set by artist Shepard Fairey, and a live feed between Los Angeles and its sister city Berlin at the 5900 Wilshire building. Tickets are $250. Call 310-216-1600 x 305.
d d THE PROLIFERATION of medical marijuana dispensaries, including MHC, adjacent to Christ the King School at Arden Blvd. and Melrose Ave., will be discussed at the LVNA meeting.
