5 Best Restaurants in Los Angeles, California You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Los Angeles — a city where bougainvillea spills over stucco walls, where palm trees sway above murals and taco trucks, where the air is perfumed with jasmine, car exhaust, and the promise of something new. Here, the city’s heart beats in the laughter of families in Koreatown, the quiet pride of Oaxacan bakers in Boyle Heights, the dreams of actors and artists and immigrants, and the hustle of those who make this sprawling metropolis feel like a patchwork of villages stitched together by sunlight and hope.

UCLA is unbeaten. So why is the Rose Bowl full of empty seats?

Halloween was frightening for college football attendance. As reported by USA TODAY , images from Oct. 31 games circulated across social media featuring stadiums filled with sparse crowds. Historic venues for schools from Penn State to Florida State to Oklahoma sat relatively empty. The numbers back that up. A USA TODAY Sports analysis found that in Week 9, when most games fell on Oct. 31, NCAA Division I FBS home crowds were 8.8% smaller than those same home teams’ 2025 average, by far the worst week of the season. One such school facing the bleak returns at the gate has been undefeated No. 5 UCLA. Against Nevada last Saturday, the school posted its lowest season attendance of the season – filling just 24,611 of the 81,258 Rose Bowl seats . The Bruins ’ crosstown rival No. 17 USC had a much better Halloween night, announcing a sellout crowd against then-No. 2 Ohio State. However, those 70,000-plus fans were a bright spot for a school whose attendance is otherwise trending down this season. The Los Angeles-area schools have also been on a downward trend in attendance for much of the past decade, although it’s worth noting that the Trojans ’ LA

Council Explores Housing Changes to Keep Pets Out of Shelters

LOS ANGELES - Pet restrictions in rental housing are drawing new scrutiny at City Hall as Los Angeles looks for ways to keep animals out of its overcrowded shelters. The City Council voted unanimously Friday to explore broader housing protections for pet owners, including a potential ordinance reducing or eliminating breed, weight and size restrictions in housing that receives no public funding.Councilwoman Eunisses Hernandez, who introduced the housing motion, said restrictions are forcing some residents to surrender their animals to remain housed."No one should be forced to surrender a member of their family just to stay housed," Hernandez said during Friday's meeting. "But if you go into our shelters, you'll find time and time again how many animals and pets have actually been given up because of this issue -- because they've been forced to surrender their pet or their family member because of their housing situation."The council approved three separate motions addressing the city's six animal shelters. Alongside the housing proposal, members advanced Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez's efforts to strengthen animal control staffing and increase investment in spay-and-neuter services.The measures seek to reduce the number of animals entering shelters while improving the city's ability to respond to animal-related emergencies.
