From the studio lots to the downtown lofts. From the beachfront bungalows to the canyon views. From the south bay to the valley, from the westside to the eastside—Curbed LA covers our sense of place, and the neighborhoods we call home.

The Dynasty of Lao concept came about as a way to share information on interesting people, places and things that might not actually be right in your own back yard. About 10% of this content will be personal musings, and the rest is a grab bag with features sometimes pertaining to the most interesting and coolest city on earth, Los Angeles, as well as what's going on in the world. The site is meant to be eclectic, broadening, nostalgic and maybe a learning experience, but most of all, fun. Pop culture, current events, etc. I hope you enjoy your stay and come back as often as you can.
"Someone had said, and Wilhelm agreed with the saying, that in Los Angeles all the loose objects in the country were collected, as if America had been tilted and everything that wasn't tightly screwed down had slid into Southern California." Saul Bello
