The city of LA has obtained new legal representation to the tune of $900-thousand in a big homelessness spending case. Two pop-ups this weekend to let those who lost record collections in the L.A. fires to crate-dig for free. A festival today in downtown LA puts a spotlight on the culture of the Middle East and North Africa.
