Wilshire Boulevard commuters are up in arms over the MTA's decision to extend their Westside dedicated bus lane experiment, a program that has led to even more teeth-grinding traffic than usual along the heavily congested Federal to Centinela corridor. Commute times along the one-mile test route have doubled. Businesses say they are losing money due to the loss of on-street parking. There are no indications that anyone is giving up their car to take...

Though LAist has never actually watched porn (ahem), we are led to believe that the use of condoms by performers somehow lessens the thrill of watching silicone enhanced women have sex with impossibly well-endowed men. Again, we have no first hand knowledge of whether this is true, but according to the Los Angeles Times, this argument against requiring porn performers to use protection has gone over like Ron Jeremy at a evangelical tent revival...

The Los Angeles Times reports that the last breeding pair of pumas in the Santa Monica mountains (rather unromantically dubbed P1 and P2) have produced a litter of four of the rare feline predators, boosting hopes that the species can avoid extinction in the rapidly urbanizing range. These kittens, in a scenario with unsettling similarities to the experiences of UFO "abductees", were implanted with abdominal tracking devices by scientists while their mother was away...

Tonight's the night Democrats have been drooling over since John Kerry announced his selection of John Edwards as his running mate: the night Dick Cheney is, in effect, cross-examined by the hot shot attorney who once won a record $25 million judgement against a negligent pool manufacturer. Whether Edwards can deliver more than a glancing blow to the stolid, unshakeable Cheney is an open question, however. Edwards has been somewhat unimpressive, in fact almost...

Griffith Park is primarily known as a much-loved pastoral retreat from the ills of urban life, where city folk can hike, beat the hell out of pinatas, and have sex in the backseats of their cars. But lying just beneath this innocent seeming surface lies a dark secret: The Curse of Griffith Park, a hex that dates back to the days of the Californios. In 1863 Don Antonio Feliz, the first non-aboriginal owner of...
