[Image via Downtown News ] Many people think Olvera Street is nothing but a kitsch-tastic tourist trap--or as Wikipedia rather poetically puts it, a "Disneyland-like center of Mexican romance and tourism." But it,along with the rest of El Pueblo de Los Angeles historic monument, is the "birthplace" of LA. For such a historic spot, it's more modern history has been rather filled with woe: rent battles, legal fights, and lots and lots of debt. But, according to Downtown News , things like the restored América Tropical mural and better budgeting are signaling a turning tide, and now a new strategic plan sets out a few more improvements slated for the coming two years. The plan approved last week will: -- Renovate the Italian Hall to house a new Italian American Museum in 2014 (a project already underway) -- Upgrade the Merced Theater, the new home of Channel 35 (the one that shows City Council meetings. You're all glued to it, right?) -- A new exhibit space "to display some of El Pueblo's stored artifacts, among them old documents, furniture and antiques from the city's past" -- New and upgraded bathrooms to "improve ventilation and the exterior look" -- Public WiFi -- Better web presence -- Downloadable audio tour · A Future Vision at El Pueblo [DN] ...

Pac-Man Battle Royale coming to a Nintendo system near you. Do you remember the "Namco Museum" collections? Namco would slap Pole Position, Galaga, Galaxian, Pac-Man and Rally-X on a disc, create a little "virtual arcade" to explore, add some original materials from the games and call it a day. That same philosophy seems to drive Pac-Man Museum, a paltry collection of three Pac-Man titles: the original arcade game, Pac-Man Championship Edition and, available for the first time on home consoles and handhelds, Pac-Man Battle Royale. Details are scant as to whether more games will be later announced or if there are plans to make them available through DLC, but for now, what you see is what you get. read more... ...
