- The Port of Los Angeles is going green? - Longo Toyota loves school children but hates blogs. - This LMU stuff is turning into a classic 80s college movie. We can't wait until the Nerds rock Greek Week. - Forget about The Rebel Billionaire... no JD? - Included in this collection of Peter Jennings news reports is his excellent ride along with the gang unit: LAPD...

We don't hear much about the Hip Hop Summit Action Network on this side of the country. Their focus has always seemed a little East Coast but the grant and support they've given in association with Pepsi for the launch of the Imperial Courts Music and Arts Development Project in Watts is very interesting. We're not sure that a music studio would be at the top of our list of needs for the long...

Proof positive that Los Angeles is a car culture town: The MTA printed ads in today's Daily News with instructions about the valley's new Orange Line service not for Metro commuters but for those still driving the streets in their own private gas guzzlers. Included amongst the suggestions of always being alert at intersections, staying out of the "keep clear" zones (which should be obvious but seem to always be ignored) and proceeding with...

- Jill Elizabeth Davis has some great pictures of the hail falling in Pasadena today. We told you to stay home. - We are trying to keep all this discussion of Steve Lopez's Skid Row work straight but we just can't. - Disney Hall of the Valley (to go with our very valley-centric day of posting). - New Zealanders think we're lawless in Los Angeles. - Who needs Harriet Miers? Our local Japanese American...

If you aren't already at work, maybe you should consider coming down with the automobile flu and staying home today. With fatal accidents on both the 5 and the 118 this morning, as well as a sig alert on the 10, closing most lanes heading into the city (and in the case of the 5, heading out of the city as well), not driving seems like the best option. That's especially true when you...

While we are kind of obsessed with Breaking Bonaduce and its completely manic star (and while the destruction of a marriage and a man shouldn't be compelling television, it totally totally is and quite possibly for all the right reasons. It is sad and heartbreaking and honest and, dare we say it, real), we haven't listened to Star 98.7 much since the Jamie, Frosty and Frank days. We still know the names of the...

The greatest weekend of college football in recent memory was built around a single epicenter - another legendary addition to the USC-Notre Dame rivalry. USC's victory over Notre Dame was lots of things. It was Reggie Bush's rise to Heisman front-runner (sorry Vince, tearing up Colorado isn't exactly on the same level), it was both teams rising up to the biggest challenge they'll have all year and it was the first time a game...

After a week of moving into a new house, travelling to the midwest and back and being without internet or TV, this LAist contributor is a little overwhelmed with everything he's missed and has to catch up on. We say goodbye to Phil and hello to Alex and just as soon as we can get our -ist shit together, we'll have a new contributor writing focusing on local politics as well. Now, here's what...

We always love when Gridskipper points its jetsetting eye on Los Angeles and today they do it by getting recommendations from some of their favorite local blogs. LAist was supposed to be a part of the fun but some of us (ed. note: mainly me) have been without internet access over the past week and couldn't get it together. Anyway, check out tvgasm's tips for not ending up in the dead zone of LA...
