Profile Information
- A little about me:
- I moved to the Leimert Park area near Crenshaw and Martin Luther King about five years ago and was just so impressed with the culture that surrounds me in Los Angeles.
After spending most of my life working at newspapers, I found a home at the University of Southern California working as a media relations representative.
About two years ago I started an online community for my neighborhood called Leimert Park Beat. Now, with the backing of USC, I am starting University Park Family to help strengthen the community by providing a virtual town square.
BTW, the views expressed on this forum are solely the views of the individual and do not express the views or opinions of the University of Southern California.

ABOUT University Park Family.com:
University Park Family.com, the virtual newspaper and social network, was created in concert with the University of Southern California Civic and Community Relations.
While the the print product circulates among the USC Family of Schools, the online effort serves the residents and students surrounding USC and Expo Park with news and information both for the community and by the community.
It's a place where you can find out more about your neighborhood and a platform for your voice to be heard. You don't just have a homepage, you can post on the front page where hundreds of people stop and stare every month. Please join the conversation!
University Park Family.com is like having your own blog for your poetry, your public service club, your band or the people who shop at your store. Except this audience is bigger than just the people you know.
Some spend the better part of their day working here. Others spend their their weekends eating at the restaurants, visiting family, seeing plays, watching football.
University Park Family.com, launched in April 2009, already is the best source of information about the neighborhoods surrounding USC and Exposition Park.
