Happy Thanksgiving From LAist!

We hope that everyone has a safe, happy, and healthy Thanksgiving! Today we hope you have enough food to be full (but not to send you to the ER), and good people to spend the day with. Don't forget today you can revel in free parking at city meters, pitch in and do some hands-on good, or give a little to help out those who could really use the help.
Today you'll hear from some of our regular voices sharing what they're thankful for in their lives and in L.A. And of course, we're thankful to you, our readers, for making every day so great for us, and for being a part of the LAist community.
Happy Thanksgiving, Los Angeles!
