♦ A new network city blog launched here Tuesday. Curbed LA, an offshoot of New York's Curbed, says it will "look at the changing face of our fair city and its suburban extensions. Through you, the reader, and you, the blogger, and you, the disgruntled city staffer, we'll try to piece together a picture of a city changing faster than we can type."
