2UrbanGirls received a timely letter to the editor, from a long time reader of the blog, who is a licensed realtor in the South Bay. 2UrbanGirls previously reported on a mass eviction that was scheduled to take place at 4949 W. Century Blvd after an elderly woman came to an Inglewood city council meeting looking for assistance.
2UrbanGirls reported the city was part owner of the property and we pondered on whether it would be converted to a hotel.

During the regular city council meeting held on Tuesday, April 23, 2019, Mayor Butts publicly admonished this blog.
“…a silly online publication reported that we are evicting the elderly when all we have done is put our name on the property for purchasing a piece for the street widening project…”
Inglewood Mayor James Butts
Here is what our reader shared on the TRUE ownership of the building in question.
This “silly” publication is happy to report the city has rescinded the eviction notices to the residents of the referenced property.
