Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa Votes
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa voted in Hancock Park today.
The Mayor did not disclose who he voted for in the race for the new Mayor.
Although he denied being sad leaving his job as mayor of Los Angeles, he looked and sounded so during an impromptu press conference held outside of the polling place. The Mayor also stated he was looking for a new place to live and still wasn't sure where yet.
The Mayor's final statement was a heartfelt thank you to the media photographers for their coverage of him and his office.

Roger Ebert
Was searching through my photo archives and came across this image of Roger Ebert receiving his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame back in June of 2005.
He was very gracious about having his photo taken that day and gave me a "thumbs up."
