Our Executive Director @bestenshow was recently in

Our Executive Director @bestenshow was recently interviewed for @lamag's article by John Regardie, "After COVID-19, Can Downtown L.A. Get Back Up?"

Here's what she said, "What was great about this neighborhood was that we had people who lived here long enough to fall in love with it, and then decided to start their dream business here."

This isn't our first comeback, we will rebuild.

Amongst architects, Julia Morgan is a #California

Amongst architects, Julia Morgan is a #California icon. Born in 1857 she designed more than 700 buildings. She was also the first woman to be admitted to the architecture program at l'École Nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris and the first woman architect licensed in California.

Morgan’s more famous work includes the Hearst Castle but Morgan also pioneered the aesthetic use of reinforced concrete, a material that proved to have superior seismic performance for earthquakes.

Morgan left a mark on #DowntownLosAngeles when she completed the Herald Examiner Building on 11th and Broadway on behalf of the Hearst Family. She's a staple in #LosAngeles and a California icon! Now here's some fun facts about the Herald Examiner.

William Randolph Hearst founded the Los Angeles Examiner in 1903, in order to assist his campaign for the presidential nomination on the Democratic ticket, complement his San Francisco Examiner, and provide a union-friendly answer to the Los Angeles Times.

At its peak in 1960, the Examiner had a circulation of 381,037. It attracted the top newspapermen and women of the day. The Examiner flourished in the 1940s under the leadership of City Editor James H. Richardson, who led his reporters to emphasize crime and Hollywood scandal coverage.
