The Los Angeles Board of Public Works voted this morning 3-1 to deny a permit for this weekend’s Sunset Junction Street Fair – but the matter may be reconsidered at the commissioners’ next meeting on Wednesday morning. With only Commissioner Valerie Lynn Shaw – who admitted she’d never heard of Sunset Junction until this year’s […]

‣ Sunset Junction’s website teased a music lineup announcement today, but there’s no word yet. There are plenty of great names floating around on the rumor mill for the Aug. 27-28 street fair. How would you feel about another blast from the Melvins (who did a Silver Lake residency in January)? Yeah, that’d be nice. […]
