At the Los Angeles Historic Italian Hall Foundation's "Taste Of Italy" on Saturday night at Pico House, Councilman Tom LaBonge brought a prototype district sign for "Little Italy." The start of yet another new dicey subdivide of the L.A. map? Nah, just some boosting for an Italian-American museum near the Old Plaza. Ed Fuentes of Blogdowntown observed that "the borders of what would make up a Little Italy would certainly take debate. The Italian community in Los Angeles was originally centered in land that is today occupied by Chinatown."
