A few years ago, a City Hall insider told us “there is no constituency for sidewalks in LA.” We were shocked.

We knew that wasn’t true. Since 2015, InvestinginPlace.Org has been mobilizing Tripping Point Sidewalk Advocacy summits, workgroup meetings, conference calls, City Hall public testimony, and comment letters leading to City of Los Angeles launching Real Complete Streets Projects piloting six corridor projects that include sidewalk investment with street repaving, stormwater capture, and safety improvements. The constituency has been heard. #StopTrippin

COUNCILMEMBER

CURREN PRICE GOES TO EL SALVADOR

Back in time to break ground with George Lucas, Mellody Hobson and Steven Spielberg for The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art at Expo/ USC, Councilmember Curren Price (9th District), recently returned from a trip to El Salvador where he served as an International Observer for the Congressional elections and visited the National Council for the Protection and Development of Migrants and their Families Institution as a Member of the City Council’s Committee on Immigrant Affairs. Price gave a statement saying his experience “has reinvigorated my passion to continue fighting for immigrant families, our Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, and any neighbor who feels under attack by the Trump Administration. As a Member of the City Council’s Committee on Immigrant Affairs, Civil Rights and Equity, I pledge to continue to do everything in my power to defend and keep our families together.www.chirla.org.

SoCalGas & COW FARTS to SAVE THE WORLD

Senate Bill 1383 to Reduce Shortlived Climate Pollutants is considered the most aggressive law to tackle short-lived climate pollutants in the nation. The bill requires state agencies to adopt policies and incentives to significantly increase the sustainable production and use of renewable gas. As the largest gas distributor in the nation, SoCalGas has been selected to lead in coordination process to seek out at least five dairy biomethane projects which will eventually be connected to the gas pipeline system to help meet the state’s climate goals, drive innovation, and develop supplies of renewable natural gas for Californians. @SoCalGas

CAL TRANS GETS HACKED

“Friday morning, Caltrans received many calls and emails from firms stating they received an email from the State of California – DBE Certification. It had an attachment that they were instructed to open.

Caltrans did not send out this email. After communicating with these firms, Caltrans found that some were not DBE certified firms.

The sender’s email address is DBE Certification [mailto:dbecertificationcagov@onlor.net]. The email subject line is showing as “Docs [secure]” and includes an attachment.

This email is not from Caltrans and should be deleted prior to opening.” #caltrans

WIFE IN THE RACE?

They say behind every great man is a great woman. The age-old adage comes to life again with Richelle Huizar who has worked side by side with Councilmember José Huizar (District 14) both in the community and in the home. With so many José Huizar connections and co-planned initiatives including; Measure HHH, the Street Car and Night On Broadway hanging in the balance, there may not be a need to throw in the towel just because his term is up in 2020.

Now, with rumors solidified, it’s only a matter of time before Richelle takes to the campaign trail in time for 2020. If she is able to take the reigns most likely, she will continue her husband’s efforts to save the homeless, renew Broadway and change the world as we know it.

Seems like Downtown waited forever for Prank Bar to arrive and when it did, it was no joke. Feeling Lucky? This ever trendy restaurant may remind some of Venice, with its welcoming crowd, cornered openair bar seating arrangement and famous TikiChoo Rum Drink. But, instead of the beach, surfers and beach babes backdrop consists of South Park’s newest developments and an A- list of DTLA’s most welldressed professional crowd of movers and shakers ready to mix, mingle and share stories of their Downtown successes.

SMASH. @prankbar

over 10,000 attendees celebrate behind the barricades that block off the streets between 11am - 2pm. Free before 1pm, Casey’s annual offers food, live music, vendors, and over 415 kegs and 1200 bottles of Irish Whiskey - gone - just like that! This is that one party that ends with hundreds of highly inebriated leprechauns roaming the streets of Downtown in the mid-afternoon; sometimes leaving more than just a few beers shamrocks on the curb and the smell of acidic chime steaming up from sidewalks behind them.

Somebody, please, tell the leprechauns when they’ve had enough... For the more responsible, Casey’s has partnered with Ride Yellow for discount taxi cab service.

Beginning at 11am, Artisanal Brewers Collective group welcomes all pixies and elves to partake in their St. Patty’s Day Bar Crawl “ Beer Me”, a self-guided bar crawl starting at the bar of their choice. Each bar, the Library Bar, Spring Street Bar, Sixth Street Tavern and Beelman’s Pub will feature beer and food specials but only will become a vegan food lovers choice for the day’s events. Beelman’s Pub with chef Caroline Concha will be serving their famous Tachos, Wonton Wee Bites, Stinkin’ Fries and fake so burgers with patties that taste like meat, but aren’t, that you will think its impossible.

There’s nothing really Irish about Bird’s and Bees, except maybe the manager or the doorman. We’re just throwing it on the list because its one of those places we feel everyone should know about. Built in the classic speakeasy tradition its well with an unmarked entrance located in the deeper end of a massive parking lot just south of 2nd and Broadway. As you make your way through its underground tunnel to the brightly colored yellow door that reveals a mix of vintage and modern interior accents, you’ll thank DT Weekly, for allowing you to see where birds and bees do with Leprechauns when you’re not around.

With 7 rooms of Samba and Disco there is plenty of room to dance to Latin rhythms in Downtown LA thanks to LA Live’s World Famous Conga Room.

If you can’t find St. Patty most likely he’s in the VIP with bottle service surround by lovely ladies and jealous gents. SMASHED @congaroom

No 9. ANGEL CITY BREW"May you be in heaven a full half hour before the devil knows you are dead."

Because Opera and Leprechauns singalongs go great with Beer. St. Patrick’s Day at Angel City Brewery comes with Corned Beef Tacos from Downtown Taco Truck and their Irish Coffee Stout pouring all day long! But they are throwing in something so special its bound to cast a spell. Irish songs led

by Opera on Tap with performances by NOVALA, The Sound of Ghosts, Abby and The Myth, Sarah & the Starlights, and DJ Mark Hayes inside of Angel Brews Annex, Public House which is open until 2 am, but the music stops at 7 pm. SMASHED. @angelcitybrew

was at the end of the RAINBOW. Well, here it is.... REDLINE DTLA. And these fairies add spice to Downtown along with pixie dust. So, who’s ready for St Paddy’s day at Redline? Doors open at noon and they will be flippin’ balls with green beer-pong and serving up shot specials all day and night with DJ Big Dipper and DJ Addition controlling the beats. TRASHED. @redlinedtla

24 Street Theater Takes on Illegal Immigration

with Humorous Bilingual Play Meant for Dreamers

T

he world premiere of ICE, written by Leon Martell and directed

by Debbie Devine, is coming to 24th Center Theater in April. Could a humorous play about two baseball players from Sinaloa, Mexico who arrive in the U.S. with big dreams — but no documents - ease today’s tensions surrounding illegal immigration?

And what happens when it’s written for audiences with children age 8 and up?

I

CE is a bilingual, humorous journey in search of what it means to be “American.”

Armed with their Tia’s famous salsa recipe, the pair works day and night to make their taco truck the “Uncle Sam” of mobile restaurants.

Will a contest to be “the most American food truck” at Dodger Stadium for the 4th of July prove to Immigration and Customs Enforcement that they belong?

Jesús Castaños-Chima and Tony Duran star as Chepe and Nacho, with Davitt Felder playing multiple roles.

Set in 1988 (the year the Dodgers won the World Series), ICE looks at current events through the prism of the past.

"Here we have two immigrants trying to figure out how to become"American" and what that means. Does it mean economic success and getting ahead? Does it mean fairness and justice and democracy? How is America marketed? Perception becomes reality." said Devine.

ICE is the latest in a string of 24th Street productions, including Walking the Tightrope, Man Covets Bird and Hansel and Gretel Bluegrass (each one a Los Angeles Times “Critic’s Choice”) to tackle provocative, emotionally rich subjects that can be enjoyed by both adults and kids, separately or together.

In addition to sharing 24th Street’s trademark sensibility with its predecessors, ICE utilizes the same award-winning creative team, including director Debbie Devine; set designer Keith Mitchell; video designer Matthew Hill; lighting designer Dan Weingarten; sound design-

er Christopher Moscatiello; costume designer Shannon Kennedy; assistant director Benjamin Durham; and stage manager Alexx Zachary.

Debbie Devine is a multi-

ple award-winning theater director and the co-founder/artistic director of 24th Street Theatre. She has held the position of Drama Department Chair of Colburn School for over 30 years and is also a theatrical director with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

ICE opens for press on Saturday, April 21st. 24thstreet.org.

BUNKER HILL is DTLA’s leader in live performance art, presenting formally trained theater, dance and musical performances, including those in the visual arts as well as presenting DTLA’s master chefs.

SOUTH PARK is no doubt the new Entertainment capital of the world with tours & expos, national sporting events, award ceremonies, comedy shows, restaurants, and a discotheque, almost completely surrounded by world class hotels.

Sure, the FINANCIAL DISTRICT sounds like it’s ALL WORK and no play, but with historic landmarks, sky tops with full bars, thrill rides, & award winning happy hours, prepare yourself for the pressures of excitement.

With its independence, CHINATOWN has strengthened its romantic and familiar relationship with Downtown, demonstrating it is as gentle as it is honest with its gifts for DTLA.

Order in the courts, dine in or take out...Not just for law making anymore, the COURTS DISTRICT of DTLA offers a gambit of public art, a 360 degree observation deck, legendary eateries and historical landmarks.
