Quick run around the site:
- Celeste and Mayor Napolitano are reunited — with a twist I didn't see coming — and it's time to tie together some of the loose threads running through Right of Way, our favorite developing L.A. noir story. There has been a lot going on since we last checked in. LA Observed Script Project

Also: We had a nice turnout of bloggers at Saturday night's Neon Cruise. They included Sha in LA, Kim Cooper from 1947 Project, Donna Barstow of Griffith Park, Interrupted, The 99 Cent Chef and David Rensin from Native Intelligence. Ed Fuentes of View from a Loft posted the pic and a report at Blogdowntown. Lots of people wave when the big red fun bus blows past, but my favorite interactions this time were 1) the shoutout from unseen inmates at the Metropolitan Detention Center, and 2) the lone Taco Bell customer at Rampart and Beverly who could only shrug when Eric Lynxwiler pointed the megaphone his way and demanded to know why he wasn't across the street at the original Original Tommy's.
