LA has no sense of history. The KCET site is hallowed ground — home of the Monogram and Allied Artist studios — legacy names in poverty row films of the 40s through 60s. At the very least Scientology should be required to provide a museum dedicated to Monogram on the lot. If a French director dedicated the movie "Breathless" to Monogram than it’s important that the studio be remembered in this country. Monogram is where Sidney Toler immortalized Charlie Chan; Leo Gorcey and the East Side Kids, Bela Lugosi, Ava Gardner, Zsa Zsa Gabor and directors Joseph Lewis and Phil Karlson, all at Monogram. Previous writer is misinformed about Reliance Majestic studios. It is clearly stated at Museum of Moving Images in London that the KCET facility is the former home of Monogram Pictures which later became Allied Artists, producer of "Cabaret", "Papillon" and "Friendly Persuasion," Anthony Perkins first staring role. According to a producer who worked at KCET, in remodeling a sound stage they uncovered a beautiful art deco room. What else was uncovered at Monogram? I would join an effort to save the memory of this remarkable studio. For a history of Monogram go to www.allmovie.com for article by Cole Gagne on Grade B Studios. dzarkin@netzero.com

Jesus Joseph and Mary, it’s the same discussion every time there’s a post on LA Live. Yes. There is ground floor restaurant and retail space. To be specific the entrance to ESPN Zone and the Grammy Museum, about 10 restaurants, a coffee shop and a few stores are all at ground level. The developer actually put all of the loading docks undergound so that there would be pedestrian activity on all sides of the development—especially along Fig. The project includes ridiculously wide sidewalks, outdoor dining, a well executed streetscape plan.
All of the Staples Center area projects are part of a Master Plan that was cooked up by a large group of architects, planners and public figures—it’s a major undertaking in urban planning for the City and not the usualy, "oh wait, you’re building that?" that we usually get in this city a la Bev Center.
What you see in the foreground of this pic is the ESPN broadcast facility, which admitedly does not have a ton of upper floor openings but then again it’s a broadcast facility. The amount of transparency that you see up there took a lot load of arm wrestling.

@guest #7:You state: "There’s multi-story garages every block downtown, I don’t think we’ll be running out anytime soon". I said SURFACE parking lots are going away. One other factor you and thousands of other people always forget is the increase of population in downtown. It may be true that an increase of people doesn’t necessarily correlate to an increase demand for parking, but these garages will accomodate a future higher density of both people (who commute) and cars.

You call all these parking garages superfluous, yet neglect to see its potential usage as downtown developments grow with more high-density venues (conventions, sports events, restaurants, high-rise condos with limited parking, etc). Again, once prime space runs out in the downtown core, that’s it. Everything else now becomes SPRAWL just like the suburbs, Honestly, I don’t want a downtown full of congested car traffic, preferring instead that people use public mass transportation. Nevertheless, I am glad that Joseph Hellen decided to build additional residential apartments instead of just a garage. This mixed-use concept (building taller if necessary as well) is exactly what downtown needs right now. If this development was just a garage, then I would disagree with the developer’s decision.

BTW: your "argument" is called "appeal to authority" which is a logical fallacy

and now, this:

’As a surgeon, he was praised for his dedication, unassuming demeanor and attention to detail. As a candidate, he has sometimes seemed imprecise or ill informed, as when he said China had intervened in Syria, and prone to odd assertions like his belief that Joseph built the pyramids to store grain. Some articles have questioned the accuracy of parts of "Gifted Hands." His comments doubting evolution and the medically recommended schedule of vaccines have baffled people in science and medicine.

"I think many of the doctors out there would disagree with the things he says as a politician, but understand him as a person as a very decent person," said Dr. Karin Muraszko, the chairwoman of the neurosurgery department at the University of Michigan, who has socialized and shared patients with Dr. Carson. "The person and the doctor are very separate from the politician."’

@guest (#44): Yes. LA’s renter to owner-occupied home ratio is way out of whack, and it makes the renters bitter. (It’s the lowest renter-to-homeowner ratio of America’s top twenty cities). There are too few homes to buy here, yet the ones being developed are largely for people who don’t even live here.

Our planning chief and pols keep telling us that growth is inevitable, but they’re actually courting it, not really addressing it. And the growth they’re courting pushes the middle class backwards, into rental units, into $1,800 a month lofts, into a dream of better rent control rather than a dream of ownership.

The quadrangle of corruption between out of town developers, their contractors, their land use attorneys and their elected officials subordinates the would-be middle class so much that the would-be middle class not even interested to follow the politics of the city, they’re too busy working 70-hour weeks to pay stupidly high rents. The developers and the pols they own are not serving the people who live here, who could put together a decent middle class, if only they had the kind of housing that middle classes have available to them in other cities.

Again a pleasure to respond—-sorry I didn’t sign.

This comment is for the poor ignorant fool who penned this article in the first place. As the listing agent for the property, I am here to tell you that your confusion and inablility to draw inference and meaning from the home’s description has resulted in an ill informed slanderous statement. Let me spell it out for you:
1) The house was built in 1991
2) Joseph Jacobs and his wife designed and commisioned its construction around the century old tree.
3) Sam Maloof, a close friend of the Jacobs was involved in the construction and present on the property throughout. According to Joe Jacobs daughter, Sam "touched every square inch of this house". The Jacobs were the first individuals to fund the Sam and Alfreda Maloof Foundation permanent endowment.http://www.malooffoundation.org/uploads/NewsletterWinter07-08.pdf
4) Sam Maloof died in 2009, and despite what you might have thought, was very active in 1991..do the math.
5) ‘Date redacted’ was your editing…not mine!
I’d be happy to give you a tour of the home so you can HEAR the facts instead of relying on reading them. You just might learn something.

Has anyone seen the South Park episode when they explain the actual beliefs of scientology? effing hilarious but i thought it was joke until I researched myself…

now, one can contend Xenu or whatever other alien form and totally insane beliefs of a sci-fi writer hack (with brilliant marketing skills)….is insane and it is but if anyone has read the old testament or bible or koran or anything, is it really any less credible than those religions?

yah, it’s a cult and stupid at that but big shout-outs got to go to these genius marketing dudes:

joseph smith – mormons (how do you follow his stories and not laugh?)

Paul – Yes, Yes, jesus’s right hand man…it was paul and later constantine that created the foundation for x-ianity too be a dominant religion

l ron hubbard – brilliant

kudos to others as well. hinduism when it spread throughout india was sorta like the facebook of today…while buddhism is peaceful, it did spread by the sword as well…

15, 16 and 19 is right. My family has owned and managed multifamily properties in the Koreatown area for over 30 years now and we were astonished, incredulous at the prices people were willing to pay for homes and apartment buildings in the past couple of years. Apartment buildings are still priced as if they are to be converted to condos – ridiculous, especially when you factor in the 10 year statute of limitations of defects relating to condo conversions. Not to mention the relocation fees owing to many long-term tenants.

It also gave me the dry heaves for awhile listening to people say, oh well this part of L.A. is different and prices won’t go down here. My silent response is why don’t you just go down to Guyana and drink some kool-aid down there. These imposters fancying themselves as above-average in intelligence making these ridiculous assertions about real estate values obviously weren’t around after the aerospace industry went bust, and the L.A. riots, which in tandem, chilled the market for years. I know, we survived that era, while many landlords did not. There’s an old testament story about Joseph interpreting Pharoah’s dream about the seven fat cows being devoured by the seven thin cows. Well, the first thin cow just burped.

The hotel served as the convention headquarters for the DNC in 1960. Lyndon Johnson stayed here for the event, but the Kennedy brothers did not. JFK stayed at a small apartment house on Rossmore Avenue south of Melrose . RFK stayed along with his father at Marian Davies’ pad in Beverly Hills and the convention itself took place at the recently inaugurated Sports Arena. Columnist Jack Smith watched from an upstairs Biltmore window facing Pershing Square as JFK alighted from his auto. A near riot ensued and a sense of fear swept over him. Decades after JFK was killed, his White House secretary revealed that J. Edgar Hoover had forced the Kennedy brothers’ hands in their selection of LBJ as veep. Some conspiracy theorists have focused on that, but the reality was that Joseph Kennedy was an old acquaintance of Hoover, foresaw that the only way his son could get elected was to have a southerner on the Democratic ticket and used Hoover to leverage Johnson’s selection. The famous enmity between LBJ and RFK was born in the hotel on the day that LBJ’s selection was announced. Leaders of major labor unions were livid at the selection and photographer Jacques Lowe snapped what would become a famous photo of the two brothers in a Biltmore suite as they discussed the LBJ conflagration.
