** VILLAGE ACTION ALERT for Playa Vista **



On Wednesday night March 3 more than 350 Playa Vista residents came together in a tremendous show of support and unity in urging Councilman Bill Rosendahl to pledge his support for the Village plan that was already approved unanimously by the City Planning Commission. SADLY, ROSENDAHL REFUSED. HE CHOSE NOT TO STAND WITH US.

On Tuesday, March 9, at 2 p.m. at City Hall, the City Council will cast its first vote on the Village. It’s more important than ever to come down to City Hall and show your support.

Retail developer Caruso targeting airports, including LA
X

Reported by the Daily Breeze

Developer Rick Caruso is looking to expand his retail empire to airports across the country, including Los Angeles International.

John Cugasi, a former director of concessions at Hartfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, was hired Monday to serve as vice president for airports, a new position that was created at Los Angeles-based Caruso Affiliated.

Caruso oversaw construction of the Grove outdoor shopping mall in Los Angeles and the Americana at Brand in Glendale. Airport insiders speculated that Caruso's penchant for new developments may lead to a bid for lucrative concession contracts at LAX's Tom Bradley International Terminal, which is undergoing a massive $1.5 billion makeover scheduled for completion by mid-2013.

Airport officials are expected later this year to put out a call for bids from companies interested in operating shops and restaurants inside Terminals 1, 2, 3, 6 and the Bradley Terminal.

"With travelers spending more time in terminals, airport authorities realize the financial value of offering something special because people are more willing to spend if you provide style, quality and service," Caruso said in a written statement.
