BIZBASH: Week in Los Angeles: a ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’-Inspired Photo Op, Carousel-Theme Decor, the First Indigenous Peoples Day Celebration

Claire Hoffman | October 12, 2018

Los Angeles celebrated its first Indigenous Peoples Day on Monday. Los Angeles Times: “The daylong festivities, which were slated to include performances by the Black Eyed Peas and Native American rock group Redbone, included a sunrise ceremony, a 5K run, and a Native American powwow. Addressing a few hundred people from the stage at the foot of City Hall, [City councilman Mitch] O’Farrell said Los Angeles is the largest city to adopt Indigenous Peoples Day in place of Columbus Day.” https://lat.ms/2ypbsfJ

The Santee Passage food hall is slated to open in a 20,000-square-foot Fashion District space early next year. Eater Los Angeles: “Perhaps most interesting to the project so far is the talent behind it, including two particular names: Joseph Shuldiner and Kevin West. They’re the ones largely responsible for the complete overhaul at Grand Central Market, bringing in varied vendors and winning awards along the way. Those two will be responsible for leasing at the new Santee Passage property, and lease negotiations are reportedly underway already.”
