Their menu includes everything from steak tartare to a roasted half chicken, but the real star of the show is their grilled cheese. It’s a masterpiece of a grilled cheese, with Beemster Gouda, Looking Glass Ridgeline and Aged Tillamook Cheddar. The nonnative mule deer population on the island can range between 500 and 1,800, according to the conservancy.

Although whispers of corruption and underhand dealings plagued its rise in the early 20th century, it was in the ’60s that the Port of Los Angeles “really hit rock bottom,” Knatz says. The city resorted to drastic, at times deeply unethical — and occasionally even criminal — means to secure the vital resource that enabled it to grow into a major world metropolis. Spearheaded by tattooer/board sportsman/heavy metal enthusiast Jarrett DeMartino, Solid Gallery One is a tattoo studio moonlighting as an art gallery. The shop’s mission is to fuse contemporary art and tattooing—to encourage the appreciation and influence of both art forms. Tattoos at the studio can be scheduled by appointment, but walk-ins are welcome too.

One of the positives to come out of the pandemic was the opening of Leo’s House of Thirst in West Asheville. In a land of beer-themed businesses, Leo’s focus stands apart, with wine on tap and plenty of bottles to choose from. Each section of the novel is introduced by an epigraph delineating a “property of thirst.” Rocky comes to know his land through the “water clock” he keeps, knowing what time of the year it is by water’s presence or absence.

An included Blackberry jam sweetens your bite and a house dill on the side adds a bit of tang. Dishes like the crudo, pasta and crab toast all appealed immensely, but were all around $20. So, for my budget, I’d only be able to walk away with just one of those dishes and nothing else.

Circuit Court of Appeals, according to Isaac Boltansky, director of policy for the financial services firm BTIG. Nathan Solis is a Metro reporter covering breaking news at the Los Angeles Times. He previously worked for Courthouse News Service, where he wrote both breaking news and enterprise stories ranging from criminal justice to homelessness and politics.

Wiggins writes out all of her novels longhand and doesn’t move on from a chapter until she’s edited it, so there was much less than the usual first-draft mess. Still, the manuscript wasn’t quite finished, and Wiggins was physically unable to write. “I just kept reading close to your ear, Mom, the things I could get on my phone because I didn’t leave the hospital,” she reminded Wiggins.

The unhoused in Los Angeles sleep in tents on the street, in government-built tiny home villages or in converted hotels. Those with construction skills and a bit of ingenuity — like Augusto — build their own shelters on whatever strip of unused or discarded land they can commandeer. In a city of multimillion-dollar houses and celebrity estates, Cesar Augusto’s home stands apart. Blossey also said he didn’t want to “sugarcoat” aerial shooting, because he said the mortality numbers would be high, particularly earlier in the process. The group says there was “no meaningful public process” in discussing the proposal and characterized aerial shooting as “inhumane tactics.” Both the coalition and Hahn have said the sharpshooting method is extreme. In comparison, fencing was described as costly and challenging given the island’s topography, while recreational hunting was generally ineffective on its own, the conservancy found.

Officials gathered at a town hall meeting to discuss a water project. An angry farmer walks down the center aisle with his sheep, yelling at the bureaucrats that he no longer has enough water for his livestock and asking what they plan to do to help him. If L.A.’s battles to control its waterfront were comparable to the plot of a noir movie, then so were the city’s legendary struggles to obtain sufficient freshwater to secure its expansion. Leo’s intends to be your cozy go-to spot whether you are looking for a glass, a snack, wine for your home or to enjoy a full dining experience.

TikTok will argue that the ban is unconstitutional and that it’s also taken steps to protect American users’ data. The app has already launched an aggressive lobbying campaign, featuring a number of small-business owners and influencers who say it's their lifeblood. “I’ve found some nice people here by the river and freeway,” she said as she walked along the channel, where river rocks poked through the concrete. Augusto’s shelter is not unique along the Arroyo Seco, as many other dwellings have sprouted along the channel.

“We have got to make enough noise so that they don’t take away our voice,” TikTok user @dadlifejason, who has 13.8 million followers, says in a TikTok ad shared on social media. About a mile away stands the Arroyo Seco Tiny Home Village, with 117 cabins that are intended to act as transitional housing. Two other tiny villages, also located in the council district represented by Councilman Kevin de León, are similarly meant to act as a steppingstone to permanent housing. De León’s office did not respond to requests for comment about the encampments along the Arroyo Seco.

Bethanne Patrick’s August highlights include fiction from Mohsin Hamid and Marianne Wiggins, a sequel to “Dopesick” and a revisionist feminist history. You’ll find a great outdoor patio at Leo’s House of Thirst and will love their use of local favorite East Fork dinnerware. Rather than further delay the critical, long-stalled military and humanitarian aid, the Democratic-controlled Senate is moving to quickly pass the package — including the TikTok bill and other Johnson priorities. At least one led by Steve Mnuchin, who was Treasury secretary in the Trump administration, has already sought to make a bid, telling CNBC in March that he was putting together an investor group. The Wall Street Journal has also reported that former Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick was looking for potential buyer partners. While ByteDance, which owns other companies, is worth hundreds of billions of dollars, TikTok would fetch less than that, experts say — especially if it is sold without its powerful recommendation algorithm.

L.A. City Councilwoman Eunisses Hernandez, who grew up in Highland Park and represents the area where Augusto lives, said there aren’t enough housing options to accommodate everyone experiencing homelessness in the city. One reporter described Diaz’s home as having “riverfront appeal,” and other news stories have highlighted the ingenuity of the encampment amid an ongoing homelessness crisis. And it just became harder and harder to pay for a room to live in,” Augusto said in Spanish while standing in the concrete channel, which carries runoff through the Highland Park neighborhood.

Augusto’s shelter has stood for at least four years, but he does not recall anyone from the city visiting in the last several days and has not had any issues with officials trying to move him out of his spot. Still, he knows that other unhoused residents lost their temporary shelters when the city conducted encampment sweeps. Blossey, who is also chair of the university’s deer management program, pointed to aerial shooting efforts used to eradicate feral goats on the Galapagos Islands and in New Zealand earlier this century.
