Culver City Biz: What’s Opening, Closing and Changing Hands?

Wildcraft Pizza and LYFE Kitchen plan to open in Culver City, while Villa Italian Restaurant goes on the market.

 

Welcome to our new column Community Development Buzz, where we’ll take a look at businesses opening and closing, development projects and renovation projects. If you have any tips, photos or information on any of the above email them to Kelly.hartog@patch.com for inclusion in our roundup.

Wildcraft Sourdough Pizza plans to open its doors this fall near Washington Boulevard in the former space of Le Saint Amour, according to Eater L.A. On their Facebook page, they are coming to the Washington Building in Culver City and "it's all about the dough." Their method is grounded in the Neapolitan pizza craft and time-intensive tradition of using “wild yeast” in preparing our slow rising sourdough. The dough is hand-shaped by their pizzaiolos’ (pizza makers) topped and fired at 850 degrees for 60 seconds in a traditional wood burning brick oven made by specialized artisans from Naples.

A "coming soon" sign went up for LYFE Kitchen at 9540 Washington Blvd., according to Eater L.A. after it was reported last month that the company, whose acronym stands for "Love Your Food Everyday," submitted plans to come to Culver City.

Villa Italian Restaurant put its longtime Culver City property on the market for $2.3 million, according to Eater L.A.

Maybe more to the point, where does the methane (way more powerful than CO2 as a greenhouse gas)Read More release go from the fracking process, where do the "secret"and other cancer causing chemicals go, and who pays for clean-up costs, increased healthcare costs of residents nearby, possible increased earthquake damage, etc. and where does this oil go (we can't use it--too dirty--so probably China)?

As I understand it, fracking wells "dry up" fairly quickly, which is why pressure to keepRead More drilling so urgent. Where do the jobs go after a year or so? Just a thought....
