Los Angeles’ two basketball teams had an interesting end to their respective 2022-23 seasons. The Lakers, being the last winless team in the league to start the year whole eventually rose from the ashes for an impressive conference finals run that ended in a sweep.

So what have their respective offseasons looked like and what should Angelenos expect when rooting for their local teams at Crypto.com Arena?

In-N-Out Celebrates 75 Years – What The Iconic Burger Chain Has Meant To Southern California
The burger world forever changed 75 years ago when In-N-Out came into existence. Harry and Esther Snyder opened the first location in Baldwin Park, helping to create what we know as the modern-day drive-thru. And soon, the rectangular red sign and neon yellow arrow became emblematic of Southern California itself. It's often the first stop from the airport for returning Angelenos and tourists alike. Today on AirTalk, we discuss the chain's history with Stacy Perman, staff writer for the Los Angeles Times and author of "In-N-Out Burger: A Behind-The-Counter Look at the Fast-Food Chain That Breaks All The Rules” (Harper Business , 2010). We also want to hear your fondest memories of In-N-Out. Call us at 866-893-5722 or email atcomments@laist.com.
