Curbed Cup 2008, a contest that'll pick the best LA neighborhood of the year, marches on. Both Silver Lake and Koreatown have advanced to the semi-finals. Who should go to the finals? Koreatown got some fancy new condos and apartments, announced plans for a shiny new vertical mall, and fought police over pedestrian ticketing. Silver Lake dumped bird balls in its reservoir, added a walking path, and got a classy-looking coffee joint. Using a criteria of smart growth--new development, new restaurants, community efforts--what neighborhood shone brightest this year? Vote now!
