Downtown LA Art Walk: Yes, There is Culture in Cali
Just saw this story posted about Gallery Row in SlamScene.
Tragedy on Gallery Row
Last night, a terrible tragedy occurred on the streets of Gallery Row during the monthly Downtown LA Art Walk. A mere one block north of where Niche.LA is located, this accident hits terribly close to home. From what I understand off reports from BlogDowntown and LAist, a baby was killed when a car jumped a curb while parallel parking. The driver mistakenly hit the gas instead of the brakes. Drugs and alcohol are not suspected and the driver was not charged… but it still leaves a mother and community at an unspeakable loss.
I don’t know how to articulate exactly how I’m feeling. Based on the current reports, it was an accident. The driver was not under the influence, but was driving barefoot during the moment in question. The mother was taking her two month old baby on a stroll during the Downtown Art Walk at 9 at night. Then they met… and that changed everything.

New Signs Are Wayfinders For Gallery Owners
The new Gallery Row signs get noticed by BlogDowntown. A little annoyed with this post considering nobody contacted us for the story, but instead interviewed someone who had nothing to do with the project. Not to mention, the signs are for visitors, not the gallery owners. We already know where the galleries are.
