With our free press under threat and federal funding for public media gone, your support matters more than ever. Help keep the LAist newsroom strong, become a monthly member or increase your support today.

There are some trendy names in food going up soon on storefronts in Old Pasadena, and today comes word L.A.'s homegrown Coolhaus is setting up shop to serve their signature ice cream sandwiches there.

Coolhaus will open in the space that previously housed a Foot Locker, reveals Eater LA. Next door there will soon be an Umami Burger, and already is an Intelligentsia coffee outpost.

This is the second Los Angeles-area shop for Coolhaus, which began as an ice cream sandwich shop on wheels in the nouveau renaissance of food trucks just a couple of years ago. Their first L.A. brick and mortar is in Culver City and opened last November.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.

We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.

Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
Senior Vice President News, Editor in Chief
