In honor of #FF on Twitter and to further educate myself, I sought to compile a list of downtown Los Angeles - centric blogs and websites (and their Twitter handles).

Blog Downtown (@blogdowntown)
A self-proclaimed "online community hub for Downtown Los Angeles, delivering the news and information that our readers need to be the most informed and active members of their neighborhood," published by Southern California Radio. As was noted a month ago in Ginny Here and There entitled Where Are All the Bloggiest, most of the blogs listed at the end of Blog Downtown are inactive. I have sought to remedy that and compile a complete list of active downtown blogs and websites here.
Downtown Muse (@DowntownMuse)
Downtown Muse is an independent cultural producer based in the Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles since 1993 who promotes DTLA "Seen & Scenes" - people, places, random things and community events.
Hello DTLA (@hellodtla)
A Photoblog of Downtown Los Angeles described, as a "lover and resident of downtown LA. If these streets could talk."
And there is always a DTLA Facebook page.
If you have any Downtown-centric blogs, sites or resources I have missed, please let me know.
