DTLA LIFE MAG #3 | MARCH 2014 | Page 4

FROM THE EDITOR Thank you for continuing to support our brand new e- magazine, “DTLA LIFE. When beginning the online maga- zine our thought process was not only to update our neighbors and friends with all of the new options in dining, art, fashion, music, retail and real estate, but also to edu- cate the many other Angelinos who still think of Downtown L.A. in terms of its past life over the last 40 years. With more than 500,000 people working in Downtown L.A. and yet only 55,000 plus living here, there is clearly still a large disconnect from our other great Los Angeles neighbor- hoods. Whether you think of the many beach cities, Hol- lywood, the Westside, Beverly Hills, the Valley or any other area in Los Angeles County, each has its own personality and draw of community where Downtown L.A. still contin- ues to find a personality all its own and ways express it to the fullest. It is our goal with this issue of “DTLA LIFE” focusing on the “new Downtown L.A.” to continue to show the myriad of reasons that 50,000 plus of us choose to call this area home. Bringing to you a number of new projects on the rise in Downtown L.A. and exploring the plans for our great city center continues to excite and inspire us.
