Subject: Susan Baker Lives and Works in NoHo Age: 40 What’s you favorite restaurant? EAT on Magnolia. Great breakfasts! Thoughts about Laemmle Theaters coming in: I’m very excited. This will be the final piece of the “anchor” to draw more visitors and residents to NoHo. What could be improved in NoHo? The roads. They are horrible. I tripped the other day while walking on Vineland because of all the potholes and clustered up tar/pavement pothole quick fixes.  I really scraped my elbow pretty bad.  Wanna see? What’s your visions for the future of NoHo? I think we need a visitor center/kiosk info booth somewhere around Magnolia and Lankershim. It should have info on restaurants and theater shows, and what’s happening in NoHo.  What’s your job? I’m a segment Producer.
