Extra, Extra
- Despite the best efforts from the city budget busters... LA is still over $100 million in the hole. Ugh...
- This is just flippin' scary. Apparently a woman blacked out behind the wheel and plowed into cars, a tree and a bus... and it was caught on video. (KNBC.com)
- In another freaky auto incident, an elderly woman thought she was in reverse but was actually in drive then drove through a restaurant wall injuring herself and people in the restaurant.
- The LAPD said "So Long" to their headquarters of 54 years... Although the move wont be completely finished for another TWO YEARS.
- So what gives with all the car chaos? A UC Irvine study says it might be in the genes.
- Some money moves to be approved by the LA City Council could cut the $405 million deficit in half.
- So water mains are bursting left and right around the city causing damage and distress but the DWP is expected to get pay raises within the next few years? How does THAT work?
- An Orange Line bus was involved in an accident during the evening rush hour commute at Coldwater Canyon. Nine people suffered minor injuries.
- We're running a contest right now, giving you the chance to win a pair of tickets to the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra's November 7th concert featuring a unique presentation of Beethoven's 5th.
- Finally... Before all the accidents, committee investigations and undeserved pay raises get you down. Remember that things might be bigger in Texas, but they are BETTER in California! Enjoy your weekend!
