Little Hollywood: Janine Gates for Olympia City Council Kick-Off Party: May 13

About The Name

People ask me all the time about the name of my blog, Little Hollywood. Little Hollywood was the name of the shantytown down along the shores of what is now Capitol Lake, a place where some lively characters of Olympia lived. It was our "Hooverville" from the 1920s through the early 1950s. Well, as we know, our area has a lot of interesting, talented, educated characters, and the point of this blog is to help shine the light on some of our "stars" that might not ordinarily be heard through corporate media outlets. So, the name has a double meaning. And since it's my blog, it's Janine's Little Hollywood. Enjoy!

In other news, an interview with Janine Gates was just published in the May edition of Works In Progress, available now at various downtown distribution locations.

“…being a councilmember will allow me more opportunities to connect the council with a larger segment of the community that needs to be heard,” Gates says in the interview.
