Historic Filipinotown in Los Angeles is home to a celebrated mural about the Filipino American experience, one of the largest and oldest of its kind in the country. But the depiction of one figure is bringing the artwork fresh attention and leading to accusations of transphobia.

117 homes and small ranches in Bloomington are being demolished to make way for yet another warehouse — the largest one yet in the community.

The project is expected to bring more than 1,000 additional big rig truck trips per day.
