RALPH’S SUPERMARKET TO THE STARVING: “I’D RATHER FEED THE FLOWERS.”
 
 
NEIGHBORHOODS One late evening, my husband, Drew, was shopping at the new, convenient, high-end Ralph's Fresh Fare supermarket at Ninth and Flower in downtown Los Angeles. He noticed the copious amounts of prepared food that had gone unpurchased and asked the Ralph’s employee what was to become of it all at the end of the day. The employee replied that it all gets thrown in the garbage. It was a LOT of food.

Note: This submission was received from LA Voice Reader "Laura" who was having difficulty posting it herself... given the time and effort she has put into this, we offered to post it for her. The views expressed are entirely her own...

15-year-old Oxnard Junior High Student Fatally Shot Was Openly Gay
 
 
NEIGHBORHOODS Openly gay blogger Joe.My.God has been closely following the Tuesday shooting of an openly gay student named Lawrence King, a 15-year-old at E. O. Green Juior High School in Oxnard, CA. According to LAist, the shooter was 14-year-old classmate Brandon McInerney and the shooting occurred at 8:30am in a computer lab with 20 other students. On Wednesday, multiple media reports announced that King was declared brain dead at St. John's Regional Medical Center but his body was on a ventilator as the family was considering whether to allow organ donation.

King had been living at Casa Pacifica, a Ventura County foster care home for abused and neglected children.

The Los Angeles Times has some information on the motive:

PADRES Brought Joy and Happiness to Children with Cancer and their families
 
 
NEIGHBORHOODS It was an incredible experience for the children with cancer and their families—as well as the volunteer army assembled to put it on. Although it’s the ninth time PADRES has hosted this event, this year was by far the biggest and grandest PADRES Holiday Christmas Posada yet.

Cool new neighborhood website
 
 
NEIGHBORHOODS Exploring news places, whether it's across the Atlantic or right down the street, is one of my favorite pastimes - and living in LA affords endless exploration opportunities.

I recently found an incredible website called Hubbuzz.com that essentially lets you take a virtual stroll through all the 'hoods and cities in LA County. Hubbuzz profiles over 70 neighborhoods and cities and includes photos, community blogs and maps plotting the location of cool restaurants, museums, fitness centers, boutiques and shopping centers.

You can also see Los Angeles Apartments by neighborhood, or search by neighborhood characteristic (think diverse, trendy, kid-friendly). So when I find that perfect neighborhood in all my urban exploration, I can find an apartment there too.

Check it out, maybe you'll find a cool new 'hood to explore.
