It appears after weeks of residents filing complaints, it took a fire that burned down people's homes to finally get the city to do something about the Venice Blvd homeless encampment:

From Santa Monica Close Up:

"Thousands of people protested on Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica on Saturday, October 8, 2022, to demand justice for Mahsa Amini, and to stand in solidarity with Iranian women. Mahsa Amini is a Kurdish woman who died after being arrested in Tehran by the Islamic Republic's morality police on September 20, 2022."

Strange summers in Malibu. Surfing from Highway Ones easiest stop, from Grant Hilling:

From Brad Jacobson:

" Imagine paddling out into an empty Malibu lineup watching near perfect waves roll by unridden. IT HAPPENED THIS WEEK
Ok, there's obviously a catch... you had to be ranked as one of the best longboarders in the world. This must have been what it was like to paddle out at Malibu in the 50's.
Thanks for watching. I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll see ya on the sand."
