3 Country-Rock Songs From the 1970s That Helped Blur the Line Between Nashville and California

These three tracks are top hits from the 1970s country-rock movement. They each helped create a shortcut between Nashville and Los Angeles. Artists still take that shortcut today, following in these legends’ footsteps. “Country Boy (You Got Your Feet In L.A.)” by Glen Campbell. This song creates a...

In This Los Angeles Neighborhood, There’s Somewhere to Eat Like a Local All Day

Opening a restaurant is a grueling test of resources, patience, and sheer will. For some restaurateurs, it's a one-time thing. Andrew Lawson and Evan Algorri did it in Los Angeles in late 2023. Then, only five weeks later, they did it again. Café Telegrama came first, a quick-service daytime concept,...

Honoring Julia Morgan, Architect Extraordinaire: Yes, a woman did that

“When do we think the five LA County permitting and review agencies will finally approve our plans?” After 20 months, our beloved architect, Cole Butler — a woman standing on the mighty yet tiny shoulders of über architect Julia Morgan — could still only guess. “A week? Two weeks? If we’re lucky.” Cole is burdened by a complex, drawn-out building bureaucracy that Julia Morgan never had to navigate. From 1904 to her death in 1957, Miss Morgan designed more than 700 buildings, the most famous of which is Hearst Castle on California’s Highway 1 along the central coast.

SNL pokes fun at LA mayor election. What happened?

Saturday Night Live cast a spotlight on the Los Angeles mayoral election in its latest episode. “Nithya Raman, democratic socialist, was elected mayor of Los Angeles. That’s right,” Michael Che, co-host of Weekend Update said. “Because LA is always a year behind us on every trend.” The quip got some cheers during Weekend Update’s roundup of major headlines coming out of the midterms, including that top aide Stephen Miller was tapped to be White House chief of staff. Raman has garnered comparisons with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for their democratic socialist ties throughout the race. Mamdani, who earned the endorsement of the Democratic Socialists of America New York City chapter, was sworn into office at the start of the year. “I’m LA’s Nithya Raman,” Raman said when asked if she’s the city’s Mamdani in an interview with CNN’s Elex Michaelson . The progressive Los Angeles city councilmember defeated incumbent Mayor Karen Bass with 55% of the vote, according to the latest Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk results. County elections officials are scheduled to certify election results on Nov. 27. It is the first time since 2005 that an incumbent Los Angeles mayor has lost. “Here in Los Angeles,

Number of rabid animals in California skyrockets to the most cases in nearly 30 years

Your browser does not support the video tag. California has seen the number of rabid animals skyrocket, with the most cases in nearly 30 years, according to state officials. At least 368 rabid animals were found in the Golden State so far this year, breaking a 28-year record, the California Veterinary Medical Association announced Saturday. Most of the rabid animals were bats or skunks from Southern California, according to the veterinary association. San Diego County health officials sounded the alarm in July after a rabid bat landed on the table where a family was eating lunch at the rustic Yellow Deli chain in Vista. Another diner quickly grabbed the bat with a towel and brought it to the Humane Society in Oceanside. Last month, local health officials reported the first two raccoons to test positive for rabies in Los Angeles County in more than 50 years. At least 368 rabid animals were found in the Golden State so far this year, breaking a 28-year record, the California Veterinary Medical Association announced Saturday (Getty Images) The first raccoon was found in someone’s backyard in the Westlake Village area, officials said on October 5. The raccoon reportedly appeared sick but not aggressive

13 Changes In-N-Out Burger Needs To Make

I have a few beefs with In-N-Out Burger (bun intended), but I, like so many with ties to California, grew up eating here. Founded in Baldwin Park in 1948, the fast-food chain feels like it's woven into the fingerprint of the Golden State at this point. And with generations of my mom's side born and raised in Southern California, it should be no surprise that it was a family tradition to eat at In-N-Out when we were visiting our loved ones. With these meals marking our gatherings, reunions, and Disneyland trips with everybody, In-N-Out Burger has never just felt like some random fast-food joint to me. It feels personal.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony is this weekend. Who's getting in, and who's honoring them?

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Billy Idol , Oasis , Wu-Tang Clan , Phil Collins, Sade , Queen Latifah , Iron Maiden , Joy Division/New Order and the late Luther Vandross will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday. That's been established since the announcement six months ago. But very little else has been revealed about who will show up, who will perform, who will induct them and who will give musical tributes to the new members. A few answers are likely to trickle out this week, but the Rock Hall likes to keep most of the show a surprise. For the second straight year, the ceremony that moves between Cleveland, New York and Los Angeles will be held at the Peacock Theater in downtown LA. After two years of streaming it live, the Rock Hall is returning to its previous model, where the public won't see it until an edited version airs on ABC and Disney+ in December. The list of 2026 honorees also includes MC Lyte, Celia Cruz , Fela Kuti and Gram Parsons, along with music producers Rick Rubin, Linda Creed, Arif Mardin and Jimmy Miller and variety show host Ed Sullivan.

Toxic Homes, Terrible Dilemma: Oscar Contender ‘Still Standing’ Documents Homeowner Nightmare After LA Wildfires – SFFILM Doc Stories

To shoot their Oscar-contending film Still Standing , directors Víctor Tadashi Suárez and Livia Albeck-Ripka donned hazmat suits – for good reason. Doc Talk Podcast: 'Remake' Director Ross McElwee On Love, Loss And Grieving For His Son Their documentary, winner of Oscar-qualifying awards at Full Frame, the Seattle International Film Festival, and Aspen Shortsfest, explores homes left toxic by the catastrophic Eaton fire that tore through the Altadena section of Los Angeles in January 2025. That wildfire destroyed thousands of homes in Altadena alone, but owners of homes that survived – the houses still standing – faced an impossible dilemma: should they risk their health to return home? “To enter toxic homes, we wore hazmat suits and masks, and covered our car in plastic sheeting,” the directors write. “This is the second time that we have made a film together about wildfires. We met in January 2020, working on a film about the Australian bushfires for The New York Times Presents.” POV/TIME Studios Still Standing screened at SFFILM’s Doc Stories in San Francisco this weekend. It screens at the San Diego Asian Film Festival Sunday, at UnionDocs in Queens, New York on Monday, and at Cameraimage in Torún, Poland on
