“The #HollywoodBlacklist was a literal death for some, like the Black actor Canada Lee who played the noble doomed ex-champ in ‘Body & Soul’ [1947]…By May 1952, #CanadaLee was alone & penniless. He died of a heart attack at age 45." From "Red Hollywood" -> @kanopy.com: www.kanopy.com/en/product/r...

I’m a fan of #Ciclavia all year long, but I especially appreciate it during the #spookyseason. 👻 #losangeles

@skpawlicki.bsky.social was, until the Trump administration canceled the program, working as a Mellon fellow for the National Parks Service. She created the most incredible women's history programming, and now, she's recreated it entirely separately: storymaps.arcgis.com/collections/...

"The physical landscape of Los Angeles also provides inspiration for #PatrickMartinez, whose large-scale sculptural painting 'Battle of the City on Fire' (2025) pulls from the city’s vernacular architecture, signage, and murals," @mattstromberg.bsky.social. hyperallergic.com/1046894/five...

"At 48.5 miles, the A Line is already the longest light rail line in the world. With the new extension, it will be 57.6 miles long - extending from #Pomona through #Pasadena and #DTLA to #LongBeachCA." @streetsblogla.bsky.social: la.streetsblog.org/2025/07/24/m... #LosAngeles #transit

Wonderful night at the #GoetheInstitut in Los Angeles celebrating the puppet world of El Triste & La Smiley, characters created by LA puppeteer Cain Carias. Blown away by all the creativity on display -- the puppets, their customized outfits & all the art work from folks inspired by his #puppetry.

“In 2016, leaders of 14 #Mayan communities joined Mexican conservationists to formulate a plan.

"Los Angeles can feel impenetrable. Even if you are a native and know it like the back of your hand. It also changes in a blink; your map keeps shifting. You must keep recalibrating, searching for what still feels like yours," @lynellgeorge.bsky.social. www.zocalopublicsquare.org/map-to-liter...

Felt that earthquake out here in the east San Gabriel Valley!

My first time hearing #BohemianRhapsody on the organ…and not just any organ. This is the Spreckels Organ in San Diego’s #BalboaPark built for the Panama-CA Exposition in 1915. With 5,017 pipes, the #SpreckelsOrgan is said to be the largest fully-outdoor organ in the world. #organmusic #SanDiego

“Black Press USA has learned that Trump officials are sending back exhibit items to their rightful owners and dismantling them—starting with the 1960 Woolworth’s lunch counter sit-in exhibit.” blackpressusa.com/the-smithson...

Felt a gentle shaking in the east SGV. Grateful for that emergency #earthquake alert!

On this week's podcast we talked about how Rick Caruso's new nonprofit to "rebuild" LA is swiftly aligning with the new Trump administration. On Joe Rogan, Caruso praised Trump and said "I'd love for him to give a blueprint to the city of LA and say, here are the 10 things you need to do"

“In Memoriam: Los Angeles, 2025" features the architectural landmarks lost in the #LAFires. vimeo.com/1049004385 As part of its "Healing the Heart of LA" initiative, Friends Of Residential Treasures: LA (FORT: LA) shared this brief video at its gathering at LAPL last Saturday. #architecturalhistory
