[edit] Events
The events section should probably go above the landmarks section. It should probably also include Pride, and AIDS Walk.Kaibab 08:25, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
- As one of the largest and earliest gay pride parades and festivals in the US, the West Hollywood celebration probably deserves it's own article as well. I wish that I could remember where I read a fairly recent description of the early history of the parade—maybe the LA Weekly. BlankVerse 09:32, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] 90069 zip code
While it is funny that part of West Hollywood has a zip code of 90069, it's not really that unsurprising, given the close proximity of the 90068 (Hollywood Hills) and 90067 (Century City) zip codes. Part of the "gay village" area on Santa Monica Boulevard is in the 90046 zip code as well, by the way.
[edit] Landmarks
Neither the Beverly Center nor the Hard Rock is in West Hollywood, so why are they in this article?66.215.75.10 05:29, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
- So far nobody has supplied an explanation, so I'm editing them out. Moksharamana 04:32, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WeHo?!
I live in West Los Angeles, and am in West Hollywood very often (that's where all the good music is, of course). I read this article, and had to ask everyone I know whether they had ever called or even heard of anyone call West Hollywood "WeHo." Never. North Hollywood is sometimes called "NoHo," but West Hollywood is never called WeHo, not even in a comical sense. Ever. I'm fixing this in the article. Any comments? -Kingurth 07:26, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- Check the City of West Hollywood website. The preferred address is WeHo.org.
[edit] WEHO Continued...
I live in LA County and I've heard people use the term "WEHO" repeatedly...both comically and as a shortened version a la NOHO. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Leodios (talk • contribs) 08:18, 8 March 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Contradiction
"All of West Hollywood is zoned to Fairfax High School; some areas are jointly zoned to Fairfax High School and Hollywood High School."
How can all of weho be zoned to Fairfax High and also jointly zoned to Fairfax High and Hollywood High?
[edit] weho
i live in weho. the use of weho for west hollywood is extremely common. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.236.0.127 (talk) 17:24, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] POV - the intent of ordinances
An unregistered user (much like myself) has made the below change. With my emphasis:
Residents of the City vote overwhelmingly Democratic, and regularly pass ordinances geared toward reducing perceived discrimination, and protecting the public health and dignity of all living things at the cost of individual liberty.
I think it's pretty hard to read that as anything but an attempt to inject the author's suspicion of such measures into the description of what I at least can imagine to be legitimate aims of ordinances - whether we agree with them or not. I was quite tempted to remove it immediately but I welcome consensus. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.32.86.41 (talk) 14:49, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
