- Today in hate-reads: On Sunday, the California Post declared in an “exclusive” that during their 8 a.m. survey of the newly opened D line extension, ridership seemed somewhat sparse. Apparently dissatisfied that their exclusive did not cause enough uproar, they rewrote the same story as an editorial, calling the building of transit a “folly.”
- Speaking of the D, depending on your point of origin, it could be one of the best ways to get to the LACMA art party and parade this Saturday, given that a mile of Wilshire will be closed (LAT). Metro will also offer access to the Metro Art Bus and tours highlighting Metro Art at the Wilshire/Fairfax Station.
