I recently launched a new blog, “Why I Love LA” for former Mayor of Los Angeles, Richard Riordan. The blog provides the former Mayor with a means to easily reach the people of Los Angeles with a positive message about our city. “Why I Love LA” will also feature many guest writers who will share their views on Los Angeles. Our first guest writer is Dr. Ref Rodriguez, one of the founders of Partnerships To Uplift Communities (PUC).
