This
is NoHo.
This is
where we
live.
This is
where we
work.
This is
where we
have
fun.
This is
where a
new era
of
community,
business,
arts,
and
ideas
flourish.
This is
NoHo:
Meet
some of
the
players.

Age: 18
Rides her bike to work (Booster Juice). Likes NoHo because there are a good variety of places to eat. She loves to eat. Lydia hungry. Mentioned hot dogs and Philly cheese steak sandwiches especially good in NoHo. Mmmm. Wants to see more nightlife in NoHo. Never made it to Bank Heist before it closed (“temporarily?”). Lydia: break from the day and fly into the night. NoHo after dark awaits your dance moves…. |

Lives and Works in NoHo
Age: 32
Just moved from Thailand to NoHo to study business. Works at Krua Thai. Enjoys playing tennis on the NoHo courts (for free!) and hiking. Slight accent-but sounded like he said he wasn’t pursuing an acting career even though he’s in an up-coming production of “The Legend of the Chao Phorayai: The Siamese River of Life” at the Ford Amphitheatre. Wants to see a farmer’s market in NoHo. Good idea Tan-that would spice things up a little here in NoHo! |

Lives and Works in NoHo
Age:?
Runs Camp del Corazon with her husband Glenn. The camp is a non-profit organization of support, growth, and education for kids living with heart disease. Camp office is at her home in NoHo, which a friend’s mother with a big heart gave her. Likes NoHo because she gets a sense of being in a small town. Kind of a modern “Ozzie & Harriet”, the show about the all American nuclear family of the post war years. Lisa-just depends on how you define “all American”, “Nuclear”, and “Post War” these days I guess. But, we’ll buy it! She enjoys going to the HOWS Wine Experience at NoHo Commons because she feels safe. like it’s not a pick up joint, or a dive. Sip, Sip, Sip….wine tasting in NoHo has become Hip, Hip, Hip.
