2nd down? The Daily News reports that the NFL may bring not one but two football teams to LA. Both would play at the to-be-updated Coliseum.
money money: The LA Times does their review of Mayor Villaraigosa's budget (ours is here).
don't you be my neighbor: A 71-year-old Lawndale man makes racial slurs, sexist comments and aggravates animals according to his neighbors. Recently they awoke to condiment vandalism: their cars were covered with profanities written in ketchup and salad dressing. It wasn't him, says Robert Babb. We're glad they're taking their squabble to the Lawndale City Council; it's better than getting shot by the neighborhood crank.
nice shot (oops): An attempted liquor store robbery was foiled in Hawthorne yesterday evening when the clerk shot and killed the robber, who was armed. One robber escaped. Unfortunately, a 15-year old girl who was shopping was wounded in the process.

About the football teams at Exposition Park (see the Daily News article):
(1) Traffic from football games that will adversely impact the nieghborhood?! Are these people retarded? The Raiders used to play there. The area was designed to have thousands of people visit. Where else is this going to happen?
(2) Exposition Park is typically a ghost town during the day except for dozens of busloads of kids that get baby sat by museum staff. The Natural History Museum, in an attempt to by MOCA, has fired all their scientists, and has produced exactly jack squat that will attract their core demographic (young families).
A football team would increase attendance at the NHM, because they could continute to charge a ridiculous $11 entry fee to use the bathroom (like they do on USC game days). They get a pre-game bump with people bringing their kids with them to the game needing somewhere to go.
