LAist realizes that it is entirely possible, and even mildly enjoyable, to do all of your holiday shopping on-line without bothering to leave the house or change out of your pajamas. You could also head to the local mall, buying gifts from the Gap and Banana Republic. But you don't have to resign yourself to buying gifts from faceless corporations. You don't have to give a gift that's been seen on TV. No one...

The first LA mayoral debate, hosted last night at the Museum of Tolerance, probably wasn't on the radar of local voters. Many are still worn out from the long presidential campaign that ended just a month ago; others are simply wrapped up in the holidays. KNBC forged ahead, though, sponsoring and airing the debate, which featured the station's Colleen Williams as moderator. She was joined by panelists Jose Ronstadt of KWHY, which also aired...

For those wondering what ever happened to former California Governor Gray Davis after he was recalled (and after he appeared in that Yahoo! commercial), he has joined the LA law firm of Loeb & Loeb.

The firm has represented big names such...

The Westwood Farmers' Market takes place on Thursday afternoons on Weyburn Avenue and Glendon Avenue in Westwood Village. It's a favorite of UCLA students and employees, as well as area residents and workers who look forward to perusing fresh flowers and produce while listening to the strains of live jazz. However, the future of the market is somewhat up in the air as the organizers seek an alternative site within the Village. The current...

The Los Angeles Times reports that jury instructions will soon become more "user-friendly" since "jurors' educations and language skills vary." According to Carol A. Corrigan, a state appellate justice in charge of the jury instruction task force, "If we can't get it onto a bumper sticker or in a 10-second spot, no one is going to listen."
