Wilshire Avenue Hosts Party
Yesterday the site of the former infamous “Walk on Wilshire” was home to a big party. The street was closed and lots of people set up chairs to watch World Cup soccer on a screen attached to a truck. A Friend sent over some images.
I don’t know anything about this get together – such as who organized it, etc. But one thing I do know is that it proved Wilshire can be closed for special events and then reopened.
This is what many people were saying all along as Fullerton’s Boohoo idiot brigade and the Observer nitwits clamored for permanent closure as an F-U to automobile traffic, and of course to residents and businesses in the 100 block of West Wilshire. Fortunately a modicum of intelligence prevailed and the wingnuts Zahra and Charles couldn’t get three votes to keep the street closed.
Put the bollards up, take the bollards down. So simple. So cheap, and so damned commonsensical. And of course nobody ever said that individual “parklets” couldn’t be utilized either, except that by the time City staff was on it as make-work, the clusterfuck naturally occurred.
So yesterday a few people were no doubt temporarily inconvenienced – instead of a lot more people being inconvenienced, and worse, all the time.
That was easy. No muss, no fuss and no permanent road closure. O the irony!
Cue Hoogerbottom.
That’s what FFFF was saying all along. But the boohoos got 2000 signatures to do something really stoopid.
Don’t forget Skankle’s pressure campaign against business owners.
Bike rack advocate Anjali Tapadia of Tapadia Eye Care couldn’t see past her own self righteousness and Jung Derangement Syndrome to see how pleased business owners on Wilshire actually are that the street is open to traffic. I can’t wait to read her shit Yelp reviews.
She is known as “Amy” at the Observer where her boohoo myopia is tinged with a bitter little avian chirps.
Well, Anjali “Amy” Tapadia should “focus” on what’s left of her shit practice and get over WoW and her myopic JDS.
Wow. Attacking someone and trying to negatively impact their business just because you disagree with them politically is low. You are a fucking loser.
Fuck you loser. Anjali is a self described commissioner for the city. Means she is fair game dipshit.
yeah get him.
No, what makes her fair game is her attacking other people who have a commonsense view of things. Being a Zahra lackey and making pronouncements in public makes her a public figure.
You mean like Fullerton Boohoo and crazy?
They will never admit the thing was hopelessly dumb.
its literally being used, how was it dumb
Not a fan !
Of the street closure, the street party, the messicans, or soccer?
Did the Boohoos boycott?
It was a bunch of Mexicans watching their national team so no, no elderly white liberals showed up.
The owner of this blog has financial interests with keeping this street open. That’s why you anonymous writers oppose it.
Always appreciate hearing from Fullerton’s wealthiest campaign donor’s mouthpiece though. Very cool!
And you, sad little person, lost. But Fullerton won.
Almost everyone in Fullerton had an interest in keeping the street open.
Almost no one got any benefit having it closed. Except the bureaucrats looking for something to fuck up. Which they did.
A few boohoos got to feel good about the idea, although as usual, the practicals aspects eluded their pigeon brains.
Not true. Mulberry Street had a financial interest in keeping Wilshire closed which is why Saskie went so hard into the paint to support one of the Observer’s oldest advertisers.
Notice how the “anonymous” BooHoos never mention THAT conflict.
I agree. But Mulberry could have had their “parklet” without the street closure.
100%. And yet somehow that was never an option because it was all or nothing with an eye towards expansion.
The only reason Mulberry was for it was because they invested in their little platform – precisely because the street was already closed. They went along for the staff-created ride.
Mulberry did a lot more than go along. They drove it. They pushed the issue. Anything for a buck, amirite?
The street didn’t need to be closed for their little parklet. The one built on top of an Edison transformer vault.
The same Edison vault that 2-ton vehicles with 35-gallon fuel tanks park over 24/7. Scary.
What are Bushala’s financial interests in the street being open? Feels important to think there is a wealthy campaign donor who controls Fullerton. What a crock of shit you morons assume. Thankfully, you can find out facts for yourselves. Ask the deadbeat who owns Les Amis and is a tenant of said financial interest if Bushala’s raised her rent as a result of that street opening. Fair warning, she is probably too busy bitching endlessly to forgive her debt to taxpayers at City Council meetings along with her stupid idiot son Oliver to answer though. Relief is on the way. Oliver is going to try very hard to be an attorney like Aaruni Thakur. Maybe he will not lie about where he lives since he lives with his mommy and not in another district like Aaruni to run for school board.
I heard that he just hosted a fundraiser for Charles at his house, which is absolutely not located in the district where he ran for office several years ago. Did he and his family move?
She got through the door?
Les Amis is back on the patio. Are the No-accounts of Montecristo paying any rent yet?
Didn’t you hear? No one’s paying on city property anymore. Thank Dunlap.
I can’t. He’s away. Searching for a backbone.
Says the Anonymous writer.
Oooooh! Financial interests!! The horror!
I bet Republic sponsored this hoe down.
As usual it’s lost on the boo hoo army that the city didn’t even complete the process required under State law to abandon a street/right of way and would include public hearings, appraisals and compensation to those businesses and property owners who were negatively impacted. Kids playing Pokémon may feel it’s a win, but the taxpayers say otherwise.
Excellent point. If the patrons want to drink out in the street together they should just start up a social club on their own property like any other respectable small town suburbanites.
Not really an army, Chuck. More like a small mob.
A glorified crew.
FFFF moving the goalposts like always
Really? How?
But why couldn’t they have just used the other side of Wilshire (across Harbor) where the Plaza is?
It has been periodically closed for similar events for years.
Oh I know, it would have saved the City $65,000 to install the bollards and Bushala’s tenants would not have been damaged.
Exactly
FFFF reminded folks of the Downtown Plaza’s existence. It’s used all the time. But that wouldn’t have served as a make-work project for Sunayaya.
Why is Fullerton populated with more than its fair share of narcissists and imbeciles?
