Comics have long been on the front lines of democracy, the canary in the cat's mouth, Looney Tunes style, when it comes to free speech being swallowed by regressive politics. So Jimmy Kimmel is in good company, though he may not like this particular historical party: Zero Mostel; Philip Loeb; even Lenny Bruce, who claimed, after being watched by the FBI and backroom blacklisted, that he was less a comic and more "the surgeon with the scalpel for false values."

This is one of the last of the Great American Diners, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner in large portions at reasonable prices. This is where you go when you want liver and onions, and your companion craves chicken fried steak. Meatloaf is on the menu, served with mashed potatoes, gravy, veggies and garlic toast for $15.99. Henri's has been around for 53 years - which, in LA terms, approaches forever.

Authorities have identified the remains of a 15-year-old girl found in the trunk of a Tesla belonging to an R&B singer in Los Angeles earlier this month. The girl's name was Celeste Rivas, and she was from Lake Elsinore, according to the Los Angeles County medical examiner's office. Her cause of death has not been determined, authorities said, but is being investigated as a homicide.

In the 2000s, there was an extremely popular manga called Nana, where nothing all that important happened. It was a melancholic comedy about two new friends in their early twenties, both named Nana. They spend most of their time in Tokyo hanging out at bars, rocking Vivienne Westwood, working jobs, playing music, and balancing on and off romantic relationships. It was a detailed and messy character study that felt like falling in deeper with a friend group with every new issue.

Los Angeles' infamous Trash House, previously freed of debris and detritus, is once again covered in garbage. A year after residents in the Fairfax District complained about piles of trash at a home on Martel Avenue, it has once again started to pile up at the so-called Trash House, KTLA reported. The brown, Spanish-style stucco home at 617 North Martel Avenue has been a lightning rod of criticism from neighbors for more than a year.

Southern California is a sports-obsessed paradise, with dozens of collegiate and professional teams spread across the region and millions of cheering fans. All that athletic prowess means a huge demand for sports bars that serve quality food and drink, have great sightlines to plenty of televisions, and encourage boisterous energy. Los Angeles offers many places that fit the bill, including craft beer-obsessed hangouts, cocktail bars, and spots specializing in barbecue brisket, chicken wings, and even Indian pizza.

Human remains were found in the trunk of a Tesla at a Hollywood tow yard Monday afternoon, according to authorities.

We started on the corner of Highland and Lexington, November 3, 2018. And on the first day, we sold three chicken quesadillas, no onions. Made $16.43 total: I still have the receipt! I looked at my partner and said, 'We just have to show up and open tomorrow.' We are two persistent individuals from Tijuana and Baja, California. We grew up eating tacos, and I knew that we had the best tacos in America.

In a county where one in three residents are immigrants, a sense of anger and dread erupted Monday as non-citizens and their families realized the immigration raids that rocked their lives this summer could become a never-ending nightmare. Monday's Supreme Court order gave the green-light to what critics called "indiscriminate" immigration stops that led to thousands of arrests and set off days of protests in the Los Angeles area.

Rosh Hashanah is the lighter side of the high holidays, with observers encouraged to eat challah or apples dipped in golden honey to usher in a sweet new year. In Los Angeles, members of the Jewish diasporic community have the opportunity to order complete takeout meals (or complementary sides to home-cooked dishes) to assemble and eat at home, and this year, there are some dine-in options to explore as well.

The business group looking to repeal a $30 per hour minimum wage for Los Angeles hotel and airport workers failed to secure enough signatures to qualify the proposal for the ballot, city officials said Monday. The L.A. Alliance for Tourism, Jobs and Progress had been hoping to persuade voters to repeal the wage ordinance approved by the City Council four months ago. The referendum needed about 93,000 signatures to qualify for the ballot but fell short by about 9,000, according to a statement from interim City Clerk Petty Santos.

Fujii Kaze comes across a bit shy at first, but after he gets comfortable, his quirky sense of humor and high cheekbones evoke a slightly subdued Jack Sparrow. The relaxed tone in his voice matches his comfy clothing, punctuated by cool accessories - a chic pair of third-eye sunglasses and sandals. For the cover photo of his latest album, Kaze wears a long head covering draped over his bleached blond locks. The one he came in today was sewn by his mom.

Delta Air Lines has agreed to pay $79 million to settle a class-action lawsuit filed in 2020 after one of its airplanes that was experiencing engine trouble dumped its fuel over schoolyards and densely populated neighborhoods near Los Angeles.

After months of struggling with my boss over creative vision, which typically ended in him telling me I was uncreative and unintelligent and me crying in a corner, I was unceremoniously fired. At this point, I felt like I was dangling on a dangerous precipice. Pittsburgh, the city that had once seemed so full of possibility for me, was feeling more and more like a wasteland both professionally and personally.

This beloved taqueria, led and owned by Chef Victor Villa, was put on the map for its tacos with a signature queso taco base, though the rest of its menu isn't half bad either. Ordering a taco with the queso taco base means you can expect the restaurant's handmade blue corn masa tortillas (here's the difference between masa and masa harina by the way) made from a crispy cheese skirt of Monterey Jack with toppings like crema, cotija cheese, onion, cilantro, and guacamole.

The California Highway Patrol issued an Amber Alert on Thursday for two young brothers who are believed to be in imminent danger after allegedly being abducted from their foster care home in Los Angeles. The two boys, identified as 2-year-old Derek Rodriguez-Hernandez and 10-year-old Jaden Hernandez, were taken from their home early morning by their biological mother, 30-year-old Jackeline Hernandez-Torres, and were last seen in the area of W. 52nd Street and Halldale Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department, which requested alert.

When I came as a visitor, we always stayed at the Ritz-Carlton in the Marina, and every player, all [we] did was go to Rodeo Drive the day before the game or whatnot... I thought it was all very Hollywood, glitz and glamour.
