I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

We're sorry to report that both Lil Ed and Lil Antonio have died. The jovial fish seemed to lead happy lives in the latimes.com newsroom. Though, as Times reporter Steve Hymon noted, "Some saw great drama, others great boredom," Little Antonio (named for Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa) and Little Ed (named for river project supporter Councilman Ed Reyes) became more than just online eyecandy. What Councilman Reyes said about Lil Antonio applies to both: "[Their] mere presence brought an international splash to our efforts to renew the city's famous waterway — the Los Angeles River."Here's a link to the goldfishcam page/memorial for the duo.http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-goldfish-cam,0,2595 017.special
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!

A Vacation Spot?

Hi all. It's Lil Antonio.  As some of you may know, we're on the L.A. Times website (and no, they don't catch dolphins or fish of any kind -- they say -- in their web).  Me and Ed decided to...
