We need to hear from you.
Today during our spring member drive, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. The local news you read here every day is crafted for you, but right now, we need your help to keep it going. In these uncertain times, your support is even more important. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership. Thank you.

With a new and improved Los Angeles Marathon course set for March, local running Coach Jimmy Dean decided to try it out on his own (nothing like having the ability to just run a marathon whenever you want, eh?).

Of course, he had to make a foodie trip out if, stopping by Burrito King at Mile 6, Carney's at 13.1 miles, Sprinkles at 16.5 miles and In-n-Out further around Mile 20 (he skipped out on Diddy Reese). Where would you/will you stop?
