Studio City still hurting with water main

- It's been nearly two months since a 64-inch water main burst under Coldwater Canyon Avenue and unleashed tens of thousands of gallons of water through nearly a dozen nearby Ventura Boulevard shops. Sue Doyle in the Daily News.

Still, many of the local businesses that suffered flood damage remain closed, far longer than they had expected.

Home to antique shops, designer clothing stores, one-of-a-kind lingerie shops and cafes, the small block of awning-trimmed stores sits with a ghost-town vacancy in the 13010 block of Ventura Boulevard. The cleanup continues as business owners sift through claim filings with their insurance companies and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.
