MAKING IT PERSONAL

Following the lead of the Cartifact map, I created a map of downtown L.A. residential, nightlife, food, and other hotspots that I've been tracking for a while. The information on the map comes from a culmination of visits to the downtown area (mainly on weekends) over the past three weeks as well as my own research with publications like the Los Angeles Times, the Los Angeles Downtown News, and Los Angeles Magazine.

Also added is a calendar of downtown events. Using information from the Times, the Downtown News, and other internet sources I hope to put together a resource for concerts, art showings, and other downtown happenings.

Both the calendar and map should be the most active ongoing projects for the site, with updates occurring every time I explore a new place or hear about an interesting event. Feel free to suggest any downtown locations or events you think are noteworthy! The best way to create a user-friendly site is to let you, the user, play an active role in it. That having been said, comment away!
