Congress has cut federal funding for public media — a $3.4 million loss for LAist. We count on readers like you to protect our nonprofit newsroom. Become a monthly member and sustain local journalism.

Scheduled to launch next month, the Lake Street Creamery ice cream truck will have a set of flavors on board that are already making our mouth water and our tastebuds intrigued: Donut, Pancake Breakfast, Holiday Chocolate, Aztec Sacrifice, Tahitian Vanilla Lemon Mint, Black Licorice, and Tears of the Yeti. These are the staple flavors Beth Colla and Tim Ferguson will be making on the truck, along with special flavors and ice cream floats. The duo describe themselves as "mobile gourmands" who plan on bringing to the streets of L.A. "the finest ice creams, gelatos, and sorbets, all handmade with love on the same Lake Street Creamery mobile ice cream parlour you buy from," adding "That's right. 'Parlour.' With a 'u.' We're fancy."

The truck was expected to be ready in time for this weekend's Jubilee in Silver Lake, but with a delayed inspection date, it looks like the "parlour" could be on the streets as early as June 3, and they say the truck is almost ready.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.

Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.

We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.

No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.

Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.

Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
