– Philanthropist Offers $300M Prize for Not Hiring Frank Gehry - Curbed (via nickdouglas)
So does this mean that LA gets the money because the new Broad museum, although it is next door to a Gehry building, isn’t going to be built by Gehry?
New Record Store Alert →
Indie record shops generally look like Championship Vinyl, the music-geek hangout owned by John Cusack in “High Fidelity,” which is to say the closest they get to décor is the album covers on the wall. “Everyone asks why we don’t have records on the wall,” says Ian Marshall, the co-owner, along with his wife, Jade Gordon, of L.A.’s Wombleton Records. “It’s like it’s some sort of requirement.

CPA-holes Episode 2
Something is wrong at Cobalt Accounting and we’re not talking in the Arthur Anderson/Enron sense. The place is possessed. Animals in agony scream from the vents like Hall and Oates Muzac. Ghosts stuck for eternity in “Casual Friday” attire attend important meetings. The smell of rotting flesh wafts through the halls. Well, that may just be the Chinese restaurant...

Mendocino Farms Plans Expansion All Over L.A. →
Since opening just a few years ago, Mendocino Farms has revolutionized what many Angelenos think of as a sandwich. The huge two-handers here are full of things like honey-roasted almonds and sliced apples and pesto vinaigrette — maybe not all in the same sandwich, but each gourmet creation is much more inspired than the usual deli meat between bread. The menu is so popular that the...

Silver Lakers! Boozehounds! Check it! →
Cliff’s Edge is one of Silver Lake’s standbys — good for a first date or even a parents’ visit. The food is fine; there’s a wine list and cocktails. But the comestibles were never the reason for coming to Cliff’s Edge: It’s all about that otherworldly back patio, just steps off of Sunset Boulevard and yet perfectly free of the sound of traffic,...
