Well, naturally, I was going to investigate this phenomenon, the point being to find ground zero of this pernicious nonsense, 5 so on August 6, 2016, I fired off a CPRA request to Heather Duffy Boylston, whose email address is linked to in the BID’s contact form.
The last thing I discovered, but did not write about until now, was that the Google revealed 2 that the kooky little backwater BID in Larchmont Village, that old-school Southern California Apartheid throwback 3 ritz-o-rama neighborhood in South Central Hollywood, 4 had also held a signal box art contest, and it had also included the very phrase made famous by its ethnic-cleansing big sisters to the North: “No cartoon images or graffiti work of any kind will be considered.” The story has dropped off the blog, but not off our agenda. Larchmont Village BID signal box art contest winner Ann Bridges’s original submission, showing a later-censored illegal fruit cart.Last Summer we broke the story of the Hollywood Property Owners Alliance’s anti-Latino signal box art contests and of CD13 Councildude Mitch O’Farrell’s willing complicity in this disgraceful episode, along with his stubborn doubling-down through silence in the face of what 1 seems like some pretty cogent criticism.
