Los Angeles County, City of Bell
| Bell is a city in Los
Angeles County with a population of about 36,000 as of the 2000 census. Bell is
located on the west bank of the L.A. River and is situated north of South Gate
with Bell Gardens to the east. In March of 2000, Bell gained worldwide
publicity, as the media announced that a shipment of 55 Oscar statuettes were
stolen from a trucking company loading dock in the City of Bell. In addition to
the Los Angeles and Bell police departments, FBI art-theft experts were
investigating. It was the second Oscar mislap as earlier that month 4,000
ballots were misrouted. Coincidentally, the missing Oscar ballots were found by
the Post Office in a Bell processing center. Academy AMPAS Executive Director Bruce
Davis was quoted: "We've told Billy Crystal (host of that year's Oscar
Ceremony) not to go anywhere near Bell, California, in the next couple of
weeks, It seems to be a Bermuda Triangle for Oscar things." Every winter,
The City of Bell hosts its annual "Bell Family Holiday Parade &
Festival" which starts at Debs Park and ends at the Bell Community Center. |
