Magazines

In 'Los Angeles' this month

CoverSeptember's Los Angeles Magazine offers a primer on finding a good and safe elementary school, putting the spotlight on sixty schools around the Greater L.A. area (not just the parent hotspots like La Canada-Flintridge, South Pas and Oak Park.) RJ Smith examines the Black Dahlia case's hold on the imagination of Los Angeles, Laurie Pike has some fun with the women behind Go Fug Yourself, Ariel Swartley reads Janet Fitch's newest, Paint it Black, and Patric Kuh reviews Hatfield's on Beverly Boulevard. I was there last night, and exquisite is the right word for it. Also, LA Biz Observed's Mark Lacter contributes his first piece to the magazine, on real estate giant Richard Ziman. Is it online? Alas, still no.

Noted: Photojournalist David Strick, who has a photo essay on low-rent movie makers The Asylum in the issue, was interviewed by John Rabe on last Saturday's Off-Ramp on KPCC. Here's the audio.
