Things to do this weekend: Space Shuttle Endeavour's towering new home opens

Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center opens: Fly to the stars, we can, at least in our daydreams. But we can also make our way to Exposition Park and the sensational state-of-the-art structure housing Space Shuttle Endeavour. The orbiter's new home has been years in the making — you'll recall its epic slow-roll from LAX to California Science Center nearly 15 years ago — and there are hundreds of dazzling displays, hand-on exhibits, and educational stations to engage visitors. Oh yes: The shuttle is now in launch position, something that may simultaneously drop jaws and inspire "wows" from those in the vicinity.

Wilshire Theater Owner Agrees to Exit Fight Over Affordable Apartments

SANTA MONICA - The owner of Santa Monica's Wilshire Theater has agreed to drop its court appeals and pay $250,000 in attorney fees to settle a dispute over plans to turn neighboring public parking land into affordable housing, according to the Santa Monica Daily Press . Owners have agreed to pay $125,000 each to Santa Monica and nonprofit developer Hollywood Community Housing Corp., the newspaper reported. The agreement concerns housing planned on Euclid St., where the nonprofit proposes 48 apartments on city-owned land near Wilshire Boulevard. Most would have two or three bedrooms, giving the development a focus on families. The City Council approved the settlement 6-0, the Daily Press reported. Mayor Pro Tem Jesse Zwick recused himself, citing his work for the Housing Action Coalition. The agreement follows court defeats for the property owner and a judge's finding that the litigation was brought to delay the project, according to the Daily Press. The financial stakes extended beyond legal bills. Hollywood Community Housing told the court further delays could jeopardize $33.6 million in project funding. The owners lawsuits challenged the city's December 2024 approval of a development agreement and ground lease for the housing project. The company argued the city

Microsoft Goes Down, and the Media Business Takes Off Early

It’s not just you: The Runyon Canyon and Baldwin Hills trails are unusually busy. The New Jersey Transit trains to Montclair and Metro North trains to Westchester really are more crowded. Xbox Slashing 3,200 Jobs In "Most Significant Restructure" in Platform's History The media business took off early on Thursday, and the bosses can blame Microsoft. The tech giant suffered a stunning global outage Thursday, putting Outlook, Teams, CoPilot and online version of Word, Excel and other software on ice, and work grinding (mostly) to a halt. Inside one midtown Manhattan media office, one employee said that as soon as it became clear the services weren’t coming back soon, folks headed for the door, braving the rain to try and get home early. Inside one newsroom, the programming and newsgathering had to go on, but one staffer said that the conversations migrated to Slack and text chains. The media business may still rely on old-fashioned technology: Film reels, cable wires and broadcast spectrum, but the internet has become its backbone, and an outage of this scale can grind an industry (or in this case much of the economy) to a halt.

Even business-friendly Vernon is souring on data centers

There is only one place new data centers are being built in the greater Los Angeles area: the city of Vernon. Just south of downtown L.A., it's a city made up almost exclusively of companies. About 50,000 people commute every day into Vernon to work, but only about 300 actually live there, and the city government is famous for its friendliness to heavy industry.

La Crescenta residents cite fire evacuation concerns in battle against affordable housing project

Concerned residents and La Crescenta city leaders are urging Los Angeles County to take another look at a proposed five-story affordable housing site. They say Briggs Avenue and Foothill Boulevard offer only one way out, and with the proposed development, there would be a dangerous evacuation bottleneck and no safe way to escape danger. The neighborhood is in an area designated as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone by the state fire marshal. The proposed five-story apartment complex would replace an 80-year-old motel at the corner of Briggs Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. The development would include 66 units and potentially house hundreds of residents. Tatyana Esmaelian, a La Crescenta resident, said the location could create serious problems during a wildfire evacuation. “I see this as a disaster happening, where it’s a repeat of Palisades Fire meets Eaton Fire, where people will get gridlocked to come out,” Esmaelian said. Residents say the intersection is already a potential evacuation choke point. Above the proposed development are already hundreds of homes, with Briggs Avenue serving as a primary evacuation route. Chris Kilpatrick of the Crescenta Valley Town Council called the proposed location particularly problematic. “This is probably the worst place in the
