Paul Was WRONG – February 16th

Let’s be clear, the fact that I messed up isn’t worthy of a headline all in and of itself – that’s a pretty common experience, actually.

But this one was rather glaring and I’m pissed about it, so it’s earned.

Yesterday’s post went on and on about LA’s “Great Park” and how most of LA doesn’t seem to know that it even exists. Well, that’s in part because it’s the Grand Park, not the “Great Park.” Specifically, the Gloria Molina Grand Park.

FYI – Gloria Molina was a prominent local politician who was on the LA County Board of Supervisors for 23 years and also served on the California State Assembly and the LA City Board of Supervisors.

And, to be fair, there *IS* a “Great Park” just down the freeway a bit, in Irvine, in Orange County. Still, I shouldn’t have gotten them mixed up.

Also, one final bit, which I don’t often do – a big thumbs up to go see the current production at the Ahmanson of “Sondheim’s Old Friends” starring Bernadette Peters and Lea Salonga. It’s at the Ahmanson through March 9th, then in New York City starting March 25th. GO!! It’s spectacular! Over the past several years that we’ve had season tickets for the Ahmanson we’ve seen some amazing productions (and one or two clunkers) but last night had to be one of the best. Highly recommended.

I will now go have myself flogged for yesterday’s egregious error.
