Reporting from Los Angeles and San Francisco --
Google Inc., the ever-expanding Internet search giant, is establishing a beachhead in Venice.

In a rare bright spot for the region's sluggish economy, Google is leasing more than 100,000 square feet of office space in three buildings, including the famed Binoculars Building designed by Frank Gehry. Sitting in front of the building is a huge binocular sculpture created by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, perhaps befitting of the company's search theme.

And the Yahoo offices near Burbank Airport are empty.

Who had to move away for them to move into this Gehry bldg, this is about the 3rd or 4th tenant.

and how much additional traffic and congestion will they bring to the area. the yahoo offices would have been a great decision, as it as adjacent to the airport and would have eliminated all of the pollution that will result from the folks who will fly back and forth from nor cal to so cal.

oh, well. in any event, it will mean more jobs for the area.
