DTLA LIFE MAG #1 | JANUARY 2014 | Page 4

FROM THE EDITOR It is my pleasure to welcome you to the first issue of DTLA LIFE.  Back in the year 2000 when our company ULTIMATE LIFE LIVING was born, we collectively real- ized that Downtown LA living meant more than just Real Estate sales.  It was our intention and our duty to inform those Angelenos who were interested in repopulating our city center of what was happening right under their feet in an old bank vault, over their heads on a neigh- boring rooftop or about to pop up in an old rusty theatre that had sat empty for 35 years withering away. DTLA LIFE has now surpassed a simple newsletter up- date and I am continually impressed as I watch history repeat itself and our city come alive.  Art, Music, Tech- nology, Theatre, Food, Life, Style is happening all around us and DTLA LIFE will be your go to e-magazine for the latest news in Downtown LA.  We invite you not only to read about your favorite new venue, retail store or loft property, but to write about it and send your arti- cles to our offices.  This magazine is not only for you to enjoy, but to participate in with your views, ideas and information.  Join us as we bring Downtown Los Ange- les back to life with its most precious commodity, the people of Downtown Los Angeles and DTLA LIFE. !
