Who writes it
Most posts are written by James, who grew up on LA's Westside. He writes about places he's actually been, with the specific dish, the parking situation and the details you'd want before you go. Read his full bio and every story he's written.
How we choose what to cover
Larchmont shops, restaurants and services come first. We also cover things a short drive away, like Museum Row and Hollywood's small theaters, when they make for a good outing from Larchmont. Neighborhood stories cover the changes people here talk about: housing, transit and what's opening or closing.
Sponsored posts and the directory
When a business pays for a feature, the post carries a "sponsored" label at the top. Directory listings are free and are checked against each business's own website or phone listing. If you spot a listing that's wrong, tell us and we'll fix it.
Accuracy and corrections
Every post carries the writer's name and the date it was published, plus the date it was last updated when something changes. Addresses, phone numbers and hours in the directory are checked against each business before they're listed. When we get something wrong, we fix it and update the date at the top of the post. Send corrections through the contact form.
