Our end of year awards continue, with Part I of the Neighborhood category. Some of the most creative comments were left under our "Name That Neighborhood" postings, a column that asked what to call those in-between pockets of Los Angeles that have no distinct name. And it was a column that Curbed famously blundered after we asked what to call a section of a neighborhood that was clearly Los Feliz. Henceforth, the top 10 new names for LA neighborhoods---provided by commenters in 2007--each receive a Los Feliz Award. Good job, readers.
