y all accounts, 2010 was a busy year. Now that it’s in the rearview mirror, get ready for… another busy year in Downtown Los Angeles. The community’s business, development and cultural calendars are already packed. In the next 12 months, Downtown will see a new head of the Catholic Archdiocese and watch how a new leader handles Art Walk. There will be a City Council election and a batch of restaurants will open. The biggest convention ever to hit Los Angeles will arrive, and the X Games and other high-profile sports events will return. There might even be another Lakers championship parade. In this issue, Los Angeles Downtown News highlights 62 people, things, happenings, etc. that will stand out in 2011. Why 62? Why not? When things are this busy, you don’t make a cutoff for a random round number. The list starts on page 5.
