- How would you like to know how many calories are in your Awesome Blossom, Big Mac, Tour of Italy, or Moons Over My Hammy?
- He didn't enter a plea when he was arraigned yesterday, no one is sure what his real name is, he's not one of "those" Rockefellers, and now he's a "person of interest" in the 1985 cold case surrounding the disappearance of an LA-area couple.
- She was known both for being a Spanish-language tv personality and then the Mayor's mistress, now Hoy is reporting (via LA Now) that Mirthala Salinas is 5 months pregnant. Relax, it's not the Mayor's love child. Ms. Salinas is engaged to another fella.
- 2 men have been arrested in connection to a health care fraud case that had them allegedly recruiting the homeless to obtain unnecessary medical treatment with the promise of payment.
- Working on making your neighborhood a better place? You may want to apply for a beautification grant, and you may also want to know about these upcoming workshops that can help you get the cash you need.
- This may meet the definition of adding insult to injury: Actor Morgan Freeman, who was seriously injured in a car accident this week, is now facing divorce from his wife of 24 years.
- New Yorkers have their carts of pretzels and donuts, but LA has corners with carts selling fresh cut fruit. Some Chowhounders throw down their votes on the boards for the best fruit cart in town.

Posting calorie counts is a good idea for the bigger chains. Did you know how many calories are in McDonald's Sugar Free Vanilla Iced Coffee? 120 in the large, 90 in the medium.
New York also has fruit carts. Oh LAist, the well-researched wander.
paul, i've both lived in NYC and also visited it several times before and since, and i've never seen a fruit cart. particularly not in, oh, let's say december. i would definitely say that fruit carts are far more part of our street culture than theirs, and for more months of the year. when most people think "street food in nyc" i'm guessing they think "hot dogs, donuts & coffee, and pretzels." not spiced mangoes, papayas, and jicama. this isn't a research article, nor a denial of nyc having fruit carts or not. chill out. have a piece of fruit.
a piece of spiced mango sounds really good right now!
