Start the week off with a few observettes...
♦ At 9 am Mayor Villaraigosa will announce he has settled a dispute between the Bonaventure Hotel and the proposed convention center hotel that could have gone to the ballot.
♦ No, it turns out the Angels can't win when Vladimir Guerrero goes one for 20. Their season ends and the White Sox go to the World Series for the first time since losing to the Dodgers in 1959.♦ Steve Lopez focuses on prostitution in part two of his week on Skid Row, and gives a hint of why the Row ("a national embarrassment") is his current fixation: "No matter how many times I go in, I come out shocked all over again."
♦ The blog Independent Sources got into the pages of the LAT Current section and is mighty happy about it.
♦ The Downtown News has put its editorial cartoons by Doug Davis online.
♦ A new Virgin Megastore opens today in the Hollywood and Highland complex. The public party is at 4 pm.
♦ That reptile that showed up in the office of KTLA general manager Vinnie Malcolm was a milk snake.
