You can't tell a damn thing about Anonymous except that he/she doesn't like being woken up by noise. Knock it off with the stereotyping and personal attacks. I'm leaving this comment up for now, but if I see something like this again I'm deleting it.Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362712838754074396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569873997733580216.post-89903735903327283202008-07-20T16:40:00.000-07:002008-07-20T16:40:00.000-07:00I am curious if it was round the 04 July weekend t...I am curious if it was round the 04 July weekend that this party occurred, and if it is that yet-to-open space on 6th and Main or 6th and Los Angeles.<BR/><BR/>In any case, lemme state this to "anonymous" who moved into Santa Fe Lofts: I usta have a publishing office at the Valuta (now SB Lofts or some such silly name) and the common toilets faced the Santa Fe. That Rapid bus stop has been there FOR YEARS. How could you not see it? Perhaps it has to do with the primary windows being permanently closed rather than able to swivel on their vertical axis? I mean, really—if downtown is so bad then perhaps you and yours should move back to west L.A., or the Valley, or Montana. <BR/><BR/>I have watched too many great cities and the nabes therein—such as LES and The Bowery and Brooklyn and Philly—get bleached by the boring residents newly moved in. Los Angeles is still but a town, and I have some great animosity toward it and especially toward those attempting to tame it. I know what it usta be, and have published quite a bit about it in books and magazines and whatnot. I am indignant that arrested development seems to be desire, especially by those whose mindset is akin to those who abandoned it some decades ago. <BR/><BR/>Don't like the noise, the malodourous wafts, the pockets of obnoxiousness soon to be sewn together and craft a city—perhaps a city that does not close down at 5 p.m. or so? Neither do I, sometimes—but tough darts. I do not desire everything to be prefect for me, because I have lived in countries where that has been attempted, and lemme tell ya, buster, it is crap. I look forward to living in a real city again, such as when I could pop down a few flights of stairs at 4 a.m. and get a scotch, or a slice of damn good pizza (Ray's, anyone?) or something to read that is fresh off the delivery truck. The noise, the stench, the muggings and possibility of sudden death is what makes the earth move, and that is a dynamic that is required. I would like to see L.A. be that again, so feel free to pack up your family and get back to Colorado or wherever.BusTardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03984672872407701918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569873997733580216.post-16115786949469619322008-07-13T13:59:00.000-07:002008-07-13T13:59:00.000-07:00that was a party, not a club. it was in my buildin...that was a party, not a club. it was in my building, on the floor directly below mine. they have parties like that regularly and although they're pretty cavalier about violating noise ordinances, the police still enforce them. <BR/><BR/>so the next time that happens, call the cops. LAPD's central division is just down the street and they respond quickly - 213-485-3294.<BR/><BR/>don't do what i did, which was walk downstairs at 2:30am and try to talk to the guy in charge. if i had just stayed home and called the cops then their security guard wouldn't have manhandled me.celiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11940843409704980570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569873997733580216.post-4276608702714352682008-07-13T12:47:00.000-07:002008-07-13T12:47:00.000-07:00Just moved in and already looking for a new place?...Just moved in and already looking for a new place? Wow.<BR/><BR/> Yes, "I love my loft but WTF did I get in to?" is a normal response when first moving down here.<BR/><BR/> I'm not sure what club you are referring to, as everything at that corner is closed or under construction. It could have been a loud party, or perhaps filming... My loft faces an airshaft, so it's pretty quiet. If I faced the street, I would definitely keep my windows shut at night.MBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07117435048295574746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569873997733580216.post-11763253998027769122008-07-13T12:46:00.000-07:002008-07-13T12:46:00.000-07:00Welcome to the neighborhood!
