Louis was born in Bourges on 3 July 1423, the son of King Charles VII of France.[1] At the time of the Hundred Years War, the English held northern France, including the city of Paris, and Charles VII was restricted to the centre and south of the country.[2] Louis was the grandson of Yolande of Aragon, who was a force in the royal family for driving the English out of France, which was at a low point in its struggles. Just a few weeks after Louis's christening at the Cathedral of St. Étienne on 4 July 1423, the French army suffered a crushing defeat by the English at Cravant.[3] Shortly thereafter, a combined Anglo-Burgundian army threatened Bourges itself.
Louis pursued many of the same goals that his father had, such as limiting the powers of the dukes and barons of France, with consistently greater success. Among other initiatives, Louis instituted reforms to make the tax system more efficient.[21] He suppressed many of his former co-conspirators, who had thought him their friend, and he appointed to government service many men of no rank, but who had shown promising talent. He particularly favored the associates of the great French merchant Jacques Coeur.[21] He also allowed enterprising nobles to engage in trade without losing their privileges of nobility.[21] He eliminated offices within the government bureaucracy, and increased the demand on other offices within the government in order to promote efficiency.[21] Louis spent a large part of his kingship on the road.[22] Travelling from town to town in his kingdom, Louis would surprise local officials, investigate local governments, establish fairs, and promote trade regulations.[23] Perhaps the most significant contribution of Louis XI to the organization of the modern state of France was his development of the system of royal postal roads in 1464.[24] In this system, relays at instant service to the king operated on all the high roads of France; this communications network spread all across France and led to the king acquiring his nickname "Universal Spider".[25]
Louis developed his kingdom by encouraging trade fairs and the building and maintenance of roads. Louis XI pursued the organization of the kingdom of France with the assistance of bourgeois officials.[25] In some respects, Louis XI perfected the framework of the modern French Government which was to last until the French Revolution.[25] Thus, Louis XI is one of the first modern kings of France who helped take it out of the Middle Ages.
Crenshaw Community Garden has been operating since 1979. It was one of the first community gardens in Los Angeles. It is historic, but it does not meet the criteria for a designated Historic-Cultural Monument. The garden has 36 plots and serves 50 gardeners, most of whom live nearby or in Koreatown. More than half are seniors. It is also a resource for the larger community. People come by to ask questions about gardening at home. An oasis of green beauty and gardening education, it is located in an urban neighborhood with few parks or green spaces. And unlike the proposed new building, it fits into the Crenshaw Boulevard streetscape. The block it is on, between Pico and Venice, has only low-rise buildings up to three stories tall. (As of May 2021, there is a new building going up on the corner of Pico and Venice that will be taller, but that is expected at an intersection.)
