Stay in the loop as to what’s happening in the hottest place in Los Angeles.  Follow @Koreatown on Twitter http://twitter.com/koreatown

Twitter is the hip, efficient social network where Koreatown residents, patrons and fans exchange information on what’s happening in the most diverse neighborhood in Los Angeles! English speakers, Spanish speakers, Koreans, Vietnamese, Japanese, Filipinos… all having fun together.

Registered Twitter users report updates in real time, texting in on their phones where they’re right now enjoying all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ, if there’s a line in front of the taco truck on 4th Street by Western, when the fire department shows up at Cafe Mak, for which entertainers they’re lining up at the Wiltern Theater, why the subway was shut down… If there’s a Happy Hour or a freebie giveaway in Koreatown, you’ll hear about it on Twitter.

Photos and links are posted several times a day. There’s even a contest for Koreatown Twitter Mayor! (The post of Caucasian ambassador of Koreatown has already been filled.)

Ktown’s boundaries are nebulous — arbitrarily you can say Vermont Avenue to the east, Beverly Boulevard to the north, Western Avenue or Wilton Place to the west, and Olympic Boulevard to the south. It’s 3 miles west of downtown LA, 4 miles southeast of Hollywood, 12 miles from Santa Monica Beach and 16 miles from the LAX International Airport.

It doesn’t matter where you are in the world, you can follow Koreatown on Twitter!
