From the Downtown News: Coffee and DLANC

The Downtown News this week includes a story on Groundwork, a coffee house in the art district. Particularly of interest is the fact that Groundwork roasts their own beans. My whole bean coffee supplies are running a little low, so I plan to head over and pick some up to try out in the next few days. I figure if I'm buying beans roasted about a mile away and then grinding them myself, that's got to be about as close as I can get to just-in-time coffee making.

Also in the Downtown News this week, two mentions of happenings from our last DLANC meeting.

"Financial District Goes Hawaiian" says that

Last Tuesday, the Downtown Los Angeles Neighborhood Council approved a liquor license for Roy's (the council does not have authority over the license, but acts in an advisory capacity to the city).

Then the oddly titled "DLANC Gets Keyed Up" talks about how we're looking to hire someone to take minutes at meetings. I don't really think the position we're hiring is quite looking for a "court room-style" transcription, but hey, that would be nice.

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.
