"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R. Murrow and a national PRNDI award for investigative reporting, as well as multiple prizes from the Society for Professional Journalists. Sasha is a proud alum of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Brown University and a member of the South Asian Journalists Association.",

Poetry is our most concise, expressive and memorable way of using speech to describe our existence. Poetry will never go entirely out of style, or lack a use, as long as we use words to communicate. The problem right now is that there’s so much media, so much entertainment, most of it pretty awful. So poetry is marginalized in the corners. But on the other hand, poetry is rather wonderful. If I were a novelist, I couldn’t read you my novel on the radio. But I can read you an entire poem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Tell us about a California poem you’ve written.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Years ago, I was living in New York, and I heard this fellow come back from a summer vacation in California. He said, “California was really ugly, it was all burned out. Not pretty, like Vermont.” And this irked me. About a week later, I was in California, walking through some hills, and I realized I’d been writing this poem subconsciously. It describes California the way someone from back East would see it, then the way a native would see it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/272821606\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\n\u003cb>\"California Hills in August\"\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I can imagine someone who found\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">these fields unbearable, who climbed\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">the hillside in the heat, cursing the dust,\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">cracking the brittle weeds underfoot,\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">wishing a few more trees for shade.\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">An Easterner especially, who would scorn\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">the meagerness of summer, the dry\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">twisted shapes of black elm,\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">scrub oak, and chaparral, a landscape\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">August has already drained of green.\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One who would hurry over the clinging\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">thistle, foxtail, golden poppy,\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">knowing everything was just a weed,\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">unable to conceive that these trees\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">and sparse brown bushes were alive.\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And hate the bright stillness of the noon\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">without wind, without motion,\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">the only other living thing\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">a hawk, hungry for prey, suspended\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">in the blinding, sunlit blue.\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And yet how gentle it seems to someone\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">raised in a landscape short of rain –\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">the skyline of a hill broken by no more\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">trees than one can count, the grass,\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">the empty sky, the wish for water.\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">— Dana Gioia\u003c/span>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>You’re a native Californian. You grew up in L.A. Your mom was Mexican-American, your dad was Italian. How did growing up around different cultures and languages influence you as a poet?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I was raised in this kind of sociological, linguistic babble. One side of my family spoke Sicilian. I was living in a Mexican neighborhood, which spoke Spanish. My school was in English, and when I went to church, the services were in Latin. So I learned at birth that languages are complex things, and they overlap around each other. And I think that was a kind of gift that’s guided me through life.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>You’ve got a pretty unconventional resume for a poet. You were the first in your family to go to college, then went to Stanford Business School. And became an executive at General Foods, where you marketed Jell-O. Then you went on to head the National Endowment for the Arts. How do you think those experiences shaped you as a poet?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I have an absolutely weird resume. I think it’s been good for me. Because most poets today spend pretty much their entire life in school. They go to school and then they teach school. Nothing wrong with that. But I do think it’s a kind of lost opportunity when all the poets in a society have the same job, the same life experience. So for me, working around non-literary people allowed me to understand what interests intelligent people outside of the intellectual world, what their speech is like, to hear their perspectives. The same way that growing up around essentially poor people has been a kind of wealth for me as a writer.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Do you have a favorite California poet?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think, without question, the greatest poet that California has produced was Robinson Jeffers. He lived in Carmel when it was still a wild, natural place. He articulated a vision of nature, of the world, that really, in some ways, helped inspire the environmental movement. He also inspired photographers like Ansel Adams and Edward Weston to photograph the California coast and help fight to preserve it.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think right now we’re in a poetic renaissance in California. Los Angeles has more artists than any other city in the country. It’s an extremely interesting moment to be a California writer. California is really coming into its own on a kind of global stage.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This interview has been edited for brevity and clarity.\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Poetry is our most concise, expressive and memorable way of using speech to describe our existence. Poetry will never go entirely out of style, or lack a use, as long as we use words to communicate. The problem right now is that there’s so much media, so much entertainment, most of it pretty awful. So poetry is marginalized in the corners. But on the other hand, poetry is rather wonderful. If I were a novelist, I couldn’t read you my novel on the radio. But I can read you an entire poem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Tell us about a California poem you’ve written.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Years ago, I was living in New York, and I heard this fellow come back from a summer vacation in California. He said, “California was really ugly, it was all burned out. Not pretty, like Vermont.” And this irked me. About a week later, I was in California, walking through some hills, and I realized I’d been writing this poem subconsciously. It describes California the way someone from back East would see it, then the way a native would see it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/272821606&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/272821606'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\n\u003cb>\"California Hills in August\"\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I can imagine someone who found\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">these fields unbearable, who climbed\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">the hillside in the heat, cursing the dust,\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">cracking the brittle weeds underfoot,\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">wishing a few more trees for shade.\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">An Easterner especially, who would scorn\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">the meagerness of summer, the dry\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">twisted shapes of black elm,\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">scrub oak, and chaparral, a landscape\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">August has already drained of green.\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One who would hurry over the clinging\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">thistle, foxtail, golden poppy,\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">knowing everything was just a weed,\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">unable to conceive that these trees\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">and sparse brown bushes were alive.\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And hate the bright stillness of the noon\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">without wind, without motion,\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">the only other living thing\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">a hawk, hungry for prey, suspended\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">in the blinding, sunlit blue.\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And yet how gentle it seems to someone\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">raised in a landscape short of rain –\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">the skyline of a hill broken by no more\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">trees than one can count, the grass,\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">the empty sky, the wish for water.\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">— Dana Gioia\u003c/span>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>You’re a native Californian. You grew up in L.A. Your mom was Mexican-American, your dad was Italian. How did growing up around different cultures and languages influence you as a poet?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I was raised in this kind of sociological, linguistic babble. One side of my family spoke Sicilian. I was living in a Mexican neighborhood, which spoke Spanish. My school was in English, and when I went to church, the services were in Latin. So I learned at birth that languages are complex things, and they overlap around each other. And I think that was a kind of gift that’s guided me through life.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>You’ve got a pretty unconventional resume for a poet. You were the first in your family to go to college, then went to Stanford Business School. And became an executive at General Foods, where you marketed Jell-O. Then you went on to head the National Endowment for the Arts. How do you think those experiences shaped you as a poet?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I have an absolutely weird resume. I think it’s been good for me. Because most poets today spend pretty much their entire life in school. They go to school and then they teach school. Nothing wrong with that. But I do think it’s a kind of lost opportunity when all the poets in a society have the same job, the same life experience. So for me, working around non-literary people allowed me to understand what interests intelligent people outside of the intellectual world, what their speech is like, to hear their perspectives. The same way that growing up around essentially poor people has been a kind of wealth for me as a writer.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Do you have a favorite California poet?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think, without question, the greatest poet that California has produced was Robinson Jeffers. He lived in Carmel when it was still a wild, natural place. He articulated a vision of nature, of the world, that really, in some ways, helped inspire the environmental movement. He also inspired photographers like Ansel Adams and Edward Weston to photograph the California coast and help fight to preserve it.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think right now we’re in a poetic renaissance in California. Los Angeles has more artists than any other city in the country. It’s an extremely interesting moment to be a California writer. California is really coming into its own on a kind of global stage.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Most underground all-ages music spots never last more than a few years — a combination of rising rent prices, the challenge of getting permits and licenses, and police interventions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet downtown L.A.’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.thesmell.org/\">The Smell\u003c/a> has been open since 1998, spawning a local music scene and launching bands like No Age, HEALTH, Abe Vigoda, Mika Miko and dozens of others. The venue has developed a fierce loyalty among young purveyors of noise, punk and underground music, and its policy of not allowing drugs or alcohol makes it a safe hangout for teenagers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is somewhere that kids can come and be together, and I think that’s really cool,” said Violet Romero, 19, singer and bass player of the local band Celebrity Crush.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/272821770″ params=”color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false” width=”100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it’s understandable that there was a huge outpouring of support from the local music community when news broke over Memorial Day weekend that The Smell’s owner, Jim Smith, found a demolition notice posted on the entrance to the club.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The notice from L&R Group of Companies, the parking lot developer that owns Joe’s Auto Parks and WallyPark, stated that an application to demolish The Smell’s one-story building had been filed with the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety.

His rent changed overnight from $2,375 to $4,000 a month — an increase of 68 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It seems like there’s a hell of a lot of parking lots on this block,” Smith said. “And I’ve never seen them full, so I just don’t know what the reason is. And it’s like, OK, great, knock down the block, you’ve got plenty of parking, but is there anything left that’s going to draw people down here that are going to want to pay for parking? In that regard, it just doesn’t make any sense.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the property owner insists there are no plans to turn The Smell into a parking lot — or anything else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a fellow lover of music, I appreciate the history of The Smell and its impact on the music community,” said Kevin Litwin, chief operating officer for L&R Group of Companies, in an email interview. “As of today, there are no development plans at all for this site or these buildings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11012529\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11012529\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20112_IMG_1574-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Volunteers take a break from taking donations at the door of The Smell.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20112_IMG_1574-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20112_IMG_1574-qut-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20112_IMG_1574-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20112_IMG_1574-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20112_IMG_1574-qut-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Volunteers take a break from taking donations at the door of The Smell. \u003ccite>(Avishay Artsy)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Litwin expressed regret over how Smith learned of the demolition notice.

The notice that was posted on your door last Friday was merely a formality to keep our options open. It is required to obtain a demolition permit in the event that it may be needed in the future. We support you and your message of providing a community within Los Angeles. We look forward to continuing our relationship with you. If at some time in the future we decide to develop the properties at that site, we will provide you ample time. If we’re able to help, we will.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a recent Saturday night, the alley between a parking garage and a row of brick buildings was full of young people.

Another volunteer sold candy bars, bags of chips and water bottles. The walls are spray-painted, and kids sat on busted-out couches or stood in clusters as the music poured out from the stage. As bands filled the small room with raucous, blistering noise, a mosh pit formed and the smell of dozens of sweaty bodies filled the air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Smell opened around the same time that another all-ages venue, Jabberjaw, closed. Many venues have closed in recent years, or have been threatened with closure. Just a week after The Smell received its demolition notice, another volunteer-run, all-ages venue 2 miles away called Pehrspace received a \u003ca href=\"http://www.laweekly.com/music/pehrspace-evicted-after-a-decade-of-joyful-noise-7009600\">60-day eviction notice\u003c/a>. Church on York, an all-ages space in Highland Park, was shut down in 2014 after being open for one year, because of noise complaints, a lack of permits and underage drinking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the fans of The Smell acknowledged that as rent prices increase in downtown L.A. and across the city, closures are to be expected. “It happened in New York with CBGB’s,” said Adam Weintraub, 17. “It’s kind of inevitable in any city that’s going through change and gentrification. But I think it takes away a huge part of the culture, and it just makes it another bland city. And it takes away a lot of the creative aspects of L.A.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I like to think that a good city needs an element of danger,” added Baron Rinzler, 18. “But they’re robbing us of all that goodness. Who wants to come to a city that’s gentrified, that’s full of high-rises? That takes the heart out of the city, really.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11012507\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11012507 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20110_IMG_1534-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Gina Basile, 14, and Simon Landau, 15. “It’s very rare to find a place that treats the performers well and allows all ages,” Landau said.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2880\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20110_IMG_1534-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20110_IMG_1534-qut-400x600.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20110_IMG_1534-qut-800x1200.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20110_IMG_1534-qut-1180x1770.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20110_IMG_1534-qut-960x1440.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gina Basile, 14, and Simon Landau, 15. ‘It’s very rare to find a place that treats the performers well and allows all ages,’ Landau said. \u003ccite>(Avishay Artsy)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>However, the dislocation of some businesses may be inevitable as downtown changes. “This is an example of the mixed blessing of urban revitalization,” said Dan Rosenfeld, a real estate developer with the Trust for Public Land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Preserving these ventures is going to be difficult in a purely economic age. The value of the land has increased, rental prices have increased, to some degree the demographics have changed,” Rosenfeld said. “On the other hand, the demand for the cutting edge, for the next and the newest, will not abate. I suspect that cultural venues like The Smell will pop up in other neighborhoods.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musician Nick Rattigan agrees. His bands, Current Joys and Surf Curse, play regularly at The Smell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s just the nature of DIY venues,” Rattigan said. “It’s amazing that this one was open for as long as it was. Normally they get shut down in one or two years. There are still these kids in L.A. and they still want to play shows and need places to go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith said there are plans in the works to keep the club open, including an effort to have The Smell declared a cultural landmark.

Most underground all-ages music spots never last more than a few years — a combination of rising rent prices, the challenge of getting permits and licenses, and police interventions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet downtown L.A.’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.thesmell.org/\">The Smell\u003c/a> has been open since 1998, spawning a local music scene and launching bands like No Age, HEALTH, Abe Vigoda, Mika Miko and dozens of others. The venue has developed a fierce loyalty among young purveyors of noise, punk and underground music, and its policy of not allowing drugs or alcohol makes it a safe hangout for teenagers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is somewhere that kids can come and be together, and I think that’s really cool,” said Violet Romero, 19, singer and bass player of the local band Celebrity Crush.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='”100%”' height='”166″'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/272821770″&visual=true&”color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false”'\n title='”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/272821770″'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it’s understandable that there was a huge outpouring of support from the local music community when news broke over Memorial Day weekend that The Smell’s owner, Jim Smith, found a demolition notice posted on the entrance to the club.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The notice that was posted on your door last Friday was merely a formality to keep our options open. It is required to obtain a demolition permit in the event that it may be needed in the future. We support you and your message of providing a community within Los Angeles. We look forward to continuing our relationship with you. If at some time in the future we decide to develop the properties at that site, we will provide you ample time. If we’re able to help, we will.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a recent Saturday night, the alley between a parking garage and a row of brick buildings was full of young people.

Another volunteer sold candy bars, bags of chips and water bottles. The walls are spray-painted, and kids sat on busted-out couches or stood in clusters as the music poured out from the stage. As bands filled the small room with raucous, blistering noise, a mosh pit formed and the smell of dozens of sweaty bodies filled the air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Smell opened around the same time that another all-ages venue, Jabberjaw, closed. Many venues have closed in recent years, or have been threatened with closure. Just a week after The Smell received its demolition notice, another volunteer-run, all-ages venue 2 miles away called Pehrspace received a \u003ca href=\"http://www.laweekly.com/music/pehrspace-evicted-after-a-decade-of-joyful-noise-7009600\">60-day eviction notice\u003c/a>. Church on York, an all-ages space in Highland Park, was shut down in 2014 after being open for one year, because of noise complaints, a lack of permits and underage drinking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the fans of The Smell acknowledged that as rent prices increase in downtown L.A. and across the city, closures are to be expected. “It happened in New York with CBGB’s,” said Adam Weintraub, 17. “It’s kind of inevitable in any city that’s going through change and gentrification. But I think it takes away a huge part of the culture, and it just makes it another bland city. And it takes away a lot of the creative aspects of L.A.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I like to think that a good city needs an element of danger,” added Baron Rinzler, 18. “But they’re robbing us of all that goodness. Who wants to come to a city that’s gentrified, that’s full of high-rises? That takes the heart out of the city, really.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11012507\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11012507 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20110_IMG_1534-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Gina Basile, 14, and Simon Landau, 15. “It’s very rare to find a place that treats the performers well and allows all ages,” Landau said.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2880\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20110_IMG_1534-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20110_IMG_1534-qut-400x600.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20110_IMG_1534-qut-800x1200.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20110_IMG_1534-qut-1180x1770.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/RS20110_IMG_1534-qut-960x1440.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gina Basile, 14, and Simon Landau, 15. ‘It’s very rare to find a place that treats the performers well and allows all ages,’ Landau said. \u003ccite>(Avishay Artsy)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>However, the dislocation of some businesses may be inevitable as downtown changes. “This is an example of the mixed blessing of urban revitalization,” said Dan Rosenfeld, a real estate developer with the Trust for Public Land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Preserving these ventures is going to be difficult in a purely economic age. The value of the land has increased, rental prices have increased, to some degree the demographics have changed,” Rosenfeld said. “On the other hand, the demand for the cutting edge, for the next and the newest, will not abate. I suspect that cultural venues like The Smell will pop up in other neighborhoods.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musician Nick Rattigan agrees. His bands, Current Joys and Surf Curse, play regularly at The Smell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s just the nature of DIY venues,” Rattigan said. “It’s amazing that this one was open for as long as it was. Normally they get shut down in one or two years. There are still these kids in L.A. and they still want to play shows and need places to go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith said there are plans in the works to keep the club open, including an effort to have The Smell declared a cultural landmark. That may not save it from demolition, Smith acknowledged, but it could buy time. There are also plans to host benefit concerts and a music festival with some of the more successful bands that have played at The Smell over the years.

Above all, we aimed to secure a home for Galería, preferably in the space where we’ve called home for the last 4+ decades,” Rivera wrote. “However, we regret to inform you that our landlord has turned down our request to enter into conversation to negotiate a long-term lease.

They have different priorities,” Piterman says. “So there would have been some kind of rotation, and a lot of art in storage. They showed me the storage, and the storage was much larger than the museum.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In contrast, his collection takes up the majority of the Museum of Monterey, aside from a token historical exhibit in the former museum store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surrealism may no longer be in vogue, but Dalí’s techni-color art work has more chance of a drawing a crowd than what used to fill the museum run by the \u003ca href=\"http://museumofmonterey.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Monterey History and Art Association\u003c/a> at the foot of Fisherman’s Wharf. President Larry Chavez says the museum operated at a loss in recent years, as public interest in its maritime collection faded. In an attempt to engage the local community, the Association put out a call for new ideas to attract visitors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve been in existence since the 1930s,” Chavez says. “Our membership is getting a little older, and this is going to be a kick starter to get new people involved.” The Association, he adds, can devote more attention now to some of its other priorities, like raising money to restore and maintain the region’s famous adobes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11777006\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11777006 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/RS20076_Ship-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Gorgeous, hand-carved ship models like this one reflect the region's maritime history, but they weren't driving much foot traffic into the Museum of Monterey.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/RS20076_Ship-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/RS20076_Ship-qut-400x300.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/RS20076_Ship-qut-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/RS20076_Ship-qut-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/RS20076_Ship-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/RS20076_Ship-qut-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gorgeous, hand-carved ship models like this one reflect the region’s maritime history, but they weren’t driving much foot traffic into the Museum of Monterey. \u003ccite>(Rachael Myrow/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Piterman is not a casual art investor. He lived in Spain for the better part of a decade where he exhibited his collection in Spain and Belgium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He can speak with great detail about Dalí’s “paranoiac-critical method,” to use the artist’s own words. “Some of the brushes he used had only one hair,” Piterman says. “So imagine the meticulousness with which he painted and created his art. That’s when jokester Dalí kind of disappeared. But burning giraffes and elephants on their frail little legs, all that is part of his work and part of kind of the provoking Dalí.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dalí was a fixture on the local art scene in the 1940s, but here as elsewhere, his outrageous eccentricities made more of a splash than his art did. Nearly everyone remembers his curlicue mustache, as much as they do “The Persistence of Memory,” his painting with the melting clocks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11774472\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 250px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11774472\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/Dali17_logo_final_300dpi-1.jpg\" alt=\"The Monterey History and Art Association still owns the building, but the museum is almost entirely taken up with Dali17,\" width=\"250\" height=\"169\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Monterey History and Art Association still owns the building, but the museum is almost entirely taken up with Dali17, \u003ccite>(Photo: Courtesy of Dali17)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Piterman has free reign to design the presentation along with curator Hillary Roberts. Her task is a formidable one: to provide context for a wide range of visitors who made not be that familiar with the huge range of work Dalí put out over the course of his lifetime. He wasn’t just obsessed with Sigmund Freud and dreams, but also Spanish history and Catholicism. “Ours is a very large collection,” she says “You could imagine wanting to spend days here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Dalí was classically trained, and learned in the style of Rafael and Valasquez,” says Lila Staples Thorsen, an associate professor of art history at \u003ca href=\"https://csumb.edu/vpa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cal State Monterey Bay\u003c/a>. What you see looking at his body of work is traditional training bent to the service of Dalí’s “crazy Freudian, 20th century sense of the ridiculous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dalí17 doesn’t compete with the museum the artist founded in \u003ca href=\"http://www.salvador-dali.org/museus/teatre-museu-dali/en_index/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Figueres\u003c/a>, (in the artist’s hometown in Spain), but it stands with that one, and the \u003ca href=\"http://thedali.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Salvador Dalí Museum\u003c/a> in St. Petersburg, Florida, as a temple to the artist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dalí17 will stay at the Museum of Monterey permanently. Piterman says he hopes to add to the collection, and host visiting Dalí exhibitions, as well as historic photos of Dalí’s time on the Peninsula. Perhaps most provocatively, he promises to stage Surrealist dinners that shock and delight the way the artist himself did back in the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11774473\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 450px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11774473 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/RS20075_Dali_6-qut-450x600.jpg\" alt='\"Lima de los Dientes,\" an etching from \"Les Caprices De Goya De Salvador Dalí.\" For many people, this is not what they imagine when they imagine Dalí.' width=\"450\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/RS20075_Dali_6-qut-450x600.jpg 450w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/RS20075_Dali_6-qut-400x534.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/RS20075_Dali_6-qut-768x1025.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/RS20075_Dali_6-qut-884x1180.jpg 884w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/RS20075_Dali_6-qut-1180x1574.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/RS20075_Dali_6-qut-960x1281.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/RS20075_Dali_6-qut.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">“Lima de los Dientes,” an etching from “Les Caprices De Goya De Salvador Dalí.” For many people, this is not what they imagine when they imagine Dalí. \u003ccite>(Photo: Courtesy of Graham Holoch)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n",

He lived in Spain for the better part of a decade where he exhibited his collection in Spain and Belgium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He can speak with great detail about Dalí’s “paranoiac-critical method,” to use the artist’s own words. “Some of the brushes he used had only one hair,” Piterman says. “So imagine the meticulousness with which he painted and created his art. That’s when jokester Dalí kind of disappeared. But burning giraffes and elephants on their frail little legs, all that is part of his work and part of kind of the provoking Dalí.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dalí was a fixture on the local art scene in the 1940s, but here as elsewhere, his outrageous eccentricities made more of a splash than his art did. Nearly everyone remembers his curlicue mustache, as much as they do “The Persistence of Memory,” his painting with the melting clocks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11774472\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 250px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11774472\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/Dali17_logo_final_300dpi-1.jpg\" alt=\"The Monterey History and Art Association still owns the building, but the museum is almost entirely taken up with Dali17,\" width=\"250\" height=\"169\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Monterey History and Art Association still owns the building, but the museum is almost entirely taken up with Dali17, \u003ccite>(Photo: Courtesy of Dali17)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Piterman has free reign to design the presentation along with curator Hillary Roberts. Her task is a formidable one: to provide context for a wide range of visitors who made not be that familiar with the huge range of work Dalí put out over the course of his lifetime. He wasn’t just obsessed with Sigmund Freud and dreams, but also Spanish history and Catholicism. “Ours is a very large collection,” she says “You could imagine wanting to spend days here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Dalí was classically trained, and learned in the style of Rafael and Valasquez,” says Lila Staples Thorsen, an associate professor of art history at \u003ca href=\"https://csumb.edu/vpa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cal State Monterey Bay\u003c/a>. What you see looking at his body of work is traditional training bent to the service of Dalí’s “crazy Freudian, 20th century sense of the ridiculous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dalí17 doesn’t compete with the museum the artist founded in \u003ca href=\"http://www.salvador-dali.org/museus/teatre-museu-dali/en_index/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Figueres\u003c/a>, (in the artist’s hometown in Spain), but it stands with that one, and the \u003ca href=\"http://thedali.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Salvador Dalí Museum\u003c/a> in St. Petersburg, Florida, as a temple to the artist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dalí17 will stay at the Museum of Monterey permanently. Piterman says he hopes to add to the collection, and host visiting Dalí exhibitions, as well as historic photos of Dalí’s time on the Peninsula. Perhaps most provocatively, he promises to stage Surrealist dinners that shock and delight the way the artist himself did back in the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11774473\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 450px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11774473 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/RS20075_Dali_6-qut-450x600.jpg\" alt='\"Lima de los Dientes,\" an etching from \"Les Caprices De Goya De Salvador Dalí.\" For many people, this is not what they imagine when they imagine Dalí.' width=\"450\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/RS20075_Dali_6-qut-450x600.jpg 450w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/RS20075_Dali_6-qut-400x534.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/RS20075_Dali_6-qut-768x1025.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/RS20075_Dali_6-qut-884x1180.jpg 884w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/RS20075_Dali_6-qut-1180x1574.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/RS20075_Dali_6-qut-960x1281.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/RS20075_Dali_6-qut.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">“Lima de los Dientes,” an etching from “Les Caprices De Goya De Salvador Dalí.” For many people, this is not what they imagine when they imagine Dalí. \u003ccite>(Photo: Courtesy of Graham Holoch)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
