A strong AP piece, but does this mean the L.A. Times didn't have an obituary in the can for Eve Babitz? latimes.com/obituaries/sto…
Eve's artist and historic preservationist mother Mae Babitz did get a proper Los Angeles Times obit latimes.com/archives/la-xp…

A lot has changed in LA media since 2003.
Ah, and now there’s an LAT obit, thanks Mark Olsen @IndieFocus

It seems that the L.A. Times did have an obituary prepared for Joan Didion, but not for Eve Babitz. Here's Elaine Woo's Didion obit (Woo left the paper in 2015): latimes.com/obituaries/sto…

Is anybody preparing obituaries at the Los Angeles Times? There are Angelenos who merit it.

There was a big shindig at the Barclay today, celebrating a new direction for the oldest continuously operated hotel in LA. Healthy Housing Foundation thinks SRO #DTLA hotels should be affordable housing, not boutiques. We do, too! esotouric.com/hotelbarclay/ Image
We were giddy to see this new addition to the Barclay's lobby furniture: a chess set, in honor of Raymond Chandler's detective Philip Marlowe, who found a man with an ice pick in his neck, upstairs in room 332, in "The Little Sister." One day we'll sit and play a game. Image
How else to welcome a Victorian residency hotel back into service than with Christmas songs from a troupe of time travelers? Beneath the "VN" stained glass window bearing first owner Isaac Newton Van Nuys' seahorse crest, they warbled sweetly. Image
