"On Sunset Strip, grit meets glamour; Luxury boom faces threat from spate of arrests" by Cara Mia DiMassa, Los Angeles Times | October 18, 2008
LOS ANGELES - The Sunset Strip is seeing a luxury boom.
Buildings and hotels along the Sunset Strip recently have undergone drastic overhauls, bringing in more glitz, more glamour, and more high-end destinations, in the hopes of luring chic, wealthy customers to the 1 1/2-mile stretch.
Translation; You DON'T MEAN SHIT to your WEALTHY CONTROLLERS, 'murka!!
Go on, bury that face in the shit bowl; you deserve it!!!!
The former Bel-Age Hotel, which was originally built as an apartment building, reopened this year as the London West Hollywood. Hoping to attract an entertainment-industry clientele, the hotel features a rooftop pool lounge and suites with embossed leather upholstery, dual-head showers, and hand-cut mosaic tiles.
The Mondrian Hotel has been "rejuvenated," according to the hotel's website, with a white-curtained lobby and "Mondrian marigold." The Hyatt hotel also is being remodeled - and rebranded as Andaz, one of the hotel chain's higher-end resorts. Eateries are going upscale, too: The past two years have seen the arrival of BLT Steak, the "ultra-lounge" One Sunset, and celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay's new restaurant just off the marbled lobby of the London, among others.
Even the Strip is getting a face lift; a beautification project that includes resurfacing pavement, replacing sidewalks, improving signage, and planting trees along the street is in the design stage. --more--"
Yup, all that $$$ and NOT a DIME for YOU, 'murka!!!!
No, that SHIT HOME you have (whose value is less than the payments) is just WAITING for the FORECLOSURE notice, isn't it?
EAT UP, 'murka!!!!
