How Artists Can Fight Back Against Cities That Are Taking Advantage of Them by Jen Graves
The Stranger, Seattle's Only Newspaper: If aliens from outer space landed in Belltown right now, they would probably see the huge banner on the high-rise that says "ARTHOUSE" and expect the building to be a house of art.

How "Shahs Of Sunset" Is Changing Hollywood
Fast Company | Business + Innovation: One morning in September, the 16 editors working on the reality show Shahs of Sunset picked up their belongings and left their office in downtown Los Angeles. They were going on strike.
