Chinatown

Groft, who law enforcement sources say bears a tattoo of the Roman numerals 666 on the back of his head, was taken into custody at a homeless encampment on Sunset Boulevard and Custer Avenue in Chinatown.

He’s owned the space, on the hipster-meets-dusty-old-school Chung King Road in Chinatown, for quite a few years, and hung artwork on the walls.

The Chinatown gallery name derives from that studio moniker, itself a portmanteau of “Mutant” and “Potato.”

Thieves have also stolen historical metal markers and plaques in downtown’s historic pueblo and Chinatown, presumably to sell for scrap to dealers who evidently chose not to distinguish between a distinctive historic monument and a sackful of empty Red Bull cans.

Is it really impossible to send a gondola up and down a hill without damaging critical and fragile open land, without erasing affordable housing in Chinatown, and without over-enriching the disliked former Dodgers owner Frank McCourt, who still owns half the stadium parking lots, the destination of the gondola and presumably future profitable happenings?
