Can't believe we missed our Blogiversary on Sunday, but Franklin Avenue has just turned 4!
Coincidentally, we launched on March 4, 2003, the same day Angelenos went to the polls to choose their City Council. I wrote a simple blurb (remember when everyone's blog posts were only a sentence long?):
There's an election today in Los Angeles. Does anyone care? Los Angeles' city council sure can get away with just about anything, with little scrutiny from the car chase-obsessed local media.
It's once again election day, as voters in L.A. and a few neighboring towns vote to fill empty City Council chairs and choose LAUSD Board of Education members, among other things.
LA Observed notes that in L.A., Mayor Villaraigosa "has relaxed parking enforcement within one block of polling places. No meters, street cleaning days or preferential parking zones will be in effect while the polls are open."
Also according to LA Observed, Studio City Hand Car Wash is giving away free washes to anyone holding a voting stub. See? Sometimes democracy does pay off.
