dtlanotebook: Actress Zooey Deschanel is known in part for her role in the film 500 Days of Summer, which indirectly starred Downtown Los Angeles. Her fawning counterpart in the film, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, is an architect always admiring the old details of the Historic Core. In real life, Deschanel apparently doesn’t think much of the city center. She worried aloud to a USA Today scribe, getting quotes about the royal couple who were attending a black tie affair on Saturday at the Belasco Theater, that William and Kate were seeing the “worst of LA.” The L.A. Times gives Patt Morrison some space to give Deschanel, who she calls a snobby cow, a stern talking-to. What, Ms. Deschanel, you don’t have any homeless people there near your Westside home? Or does that not count, because they’re on the beach, not the sidewalks? Of course there are thousands of down-and-out folks in downtown L.A. I cannot apologize enough to Ms. Deschanel that in some places, the sidewalks do not smell like Jo Malone candles. There are also million-dollar lofts downtown — like the ones in the Eastern Columbia building, not far from the Belasco theatre. There is the venerable Grand Central Market, the spectacular Central Library, the Oviatt Building, the jewelry district and the fashion district and MOCA. The royals might have marveled, “Oooh, what’s that?” as they helicoptered into downtown above the splendid Disney Concert Hall.
