Los Angeles's restaurants continue to face difficult headwinds, starting in 2020 with the onset of a global pandemic and exacerbating with the Hollywood labor strikes in 2023, which led to an industry-wide slowdown that's continued into 2026. From the lingering effects of the Hollywood strikes to rising costs (labor, rent, ingredients, etc.), many factors continue to strain restaurant owners operating on razor-thin margins.
Through throwback posts, people have been traveling back to the year when dog and flower crown Snapchat filters, Instagram eyebrows, the mannequin challenge and the Chainsmokers were everywhere. But why, you may ask? On social media, 2016 is remembered as the last carefree era, a time when people posted whatever they wanted without overthinking it, when folks actually danced at parties instead of pointing their phones at the DJ booth to "capture content."
There was no reason to believe Scott wouldn't perform as he was coming off an All-Star season where he sported a 1.18 ERA with the Miami Marlins and a 2.73 ERA with the San Diego Padres after being traded at the deadline. In 2025, Scott's All-Star form was long forgotten as he produced a 4.74 ERA across 57 innings last season. He recorded an MLB-leading 10 blown saves.
That's particularly true of Blake Snell, who tells Harris that he delayed his offseason throwing program after feeling "exhausted" at the end of the Fall Classic. The two-time Cy Young winner added that while he's hopeful of being ready for Opening Day, that's not a guarantee since the team is more focused on making sure he doesn't put too much stress on his arm in camp.

Many attorneys had told their clients they could expect the first tranche of money to start flowing this month.
Concern and offense were aired Thursday by members of an oversight committee following an attempt earlier this week to jam amendments to LA's so-called mansion tax onto the June ballot. Thursday's vote by the Measure United to House L.A.

Skull X-rays taken during the sea lion's initial exams revealed the two bullets in his head, indicating that this was actually the second time he had narrowly escaped death, the center wrote.

After the longest-operating cafe in L.A. County announced in late December that it would shut down after 139 years, customers of the Original Saugus Cafe began buying up its branded hats, T-shirts, mugs and other merchandise. When the merch sold out, some took to filching from the tables: glassware, salt and pepper shakers, and even utensils. To Jessie Mercado, 31, and her father, Alfredo - who has owned the beloved cafe in Santa Clarita for 30 years - it was amusing and sweet that many held the establishment so close to their hearts that they wanted to take pieces of it home with them.
Pages explained to the Cuban outlet why he ultimately chose not to suit up for his home country. "I have a lot of things to improve, and I need to prepare for a long season," Pages said. "I have to focus on what's most important." Pages was on Cuba's preliminary roster and showed interest; however, he decided to switch to focus on his game and grow with the Dodgers.
The person or persons that have a good chance, I think Miggy Ro's got a very good chance. He certainly, like all people, has some growth to do on that side of things. To not always think like a player, because you've got to kind of flip it. I think he has the skillset and knowledge. I think Kiké has the knowledge and the skillset to be a manager as well.
U.S. District Court Judge David O. Carter kicked off the hearing in November with a searing review of the city's "pattern of defiance of settlement agreement and the deadlines contained within it with performance or performative compliance only resulting in the wake of court hearings." Four days of testimony, spread over nearly two months, have produced a striking record of confusion and disagreement over the meaning of basic terms such as "homeless encampment" and "persons served,"
The Dodgers had long pursued Shohei Ohtani, dating back to his high school days in Japan. At the time, they hoped to sign him as a pitcher, but since then, he developed into a two-way superstar and decided to sign with the Los Angeles Angels when he made the jump to MLB. After six years with the Angels, Ohtani established himself as the best player in baseball, and then, the Dodgers finally landed their man, signing him to a historic 10-year, $700 million contract.
The "less is more" editorial model accounts for generous pay (roughly $2 to $5 per word) for contributors, said Woolley, a freelance writer and editor and former West Coast bureau chief for Forbes Magazine. Stories will typically range between 750 and 1,500 words, according to the L.A. Reported site. If my math is right, even shorter stories could pay between $1,500 and $3,750. Very generous, indeed!
Black families who migrated to LA from the Jim Crow South were drawn to Altadena because of its leafy, almost-country feel. It felt closer to the rural South, separate from the smog-ridden, concrete nature of LA. Through the wooded streets, people from across the valley wandered and became neighbors. Shade made it possible to hike or sit outside on summer evenings and chat with whoever passed by - about the news or a neighbor's dog.

Puka became PBU-ka. That's shorthand for Pass Breakup, and Nacua executed that beautifully on a soft, high pass from Matthew Stafford that sailed over Nacua's head and into the hands of leaping Panthers safety Nick Scott, who was falling back into the end zone. Nacua, who scored back-to-back touchdowns early in the game, suddenly became a defender and jarred the ball loose before Scott could secure it.
