Hodgson told City News Service.</p> <p>The fight was near Tower 14, north of the pier, police said.</p> <p>&#8220;I can confirm one victim had an injury consistent with a stab wound,&#8221; Hodgson said. The wound was not believed life-threatening. The two injured men had been involved in the fight and were not bystanders.</p> <p>The injured men were taken to hospitals for treatment.</p> <p>Three of the five men arrested were booked for assault with a deadly weapon, police said. One man was booked for battery, and the other for sexual battery. The details about the sexual battery were not provided.</p> <p>The fight remained under investigation, police said.</p> https://www.dailybreeze.com/2024/06/27/in-presidential-debate-socal-voters-sought-answers-on-immigration-and-israel-but-got-a-muddle/ santa-monica – Daily Breeze urn:uuid:87127d4c-a2fc-7f83-c7b7-01326ffb3fff Fri, 28 Jun 2024 10:05:43 +0000 On Thursday night, televisions a sports bar in Santa Monica and a pizza place in Irvine were tuned not to a baseball game but rather the presidential debate. <p>On Thursday night, televisions at a sports bar in Santa Monica, a pizza restaurant in Irvine and a dive bar in Downtown L.A. were tuned not to a baseball game but rather <a href="https://www.ocregister.com/2024/06/27/biden-vs-trump-how-to-watch-and-what-to-look-for-in-first-debate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the presidential debate</a>.</p> <p>Southern Californians gathered to watch President <a href="https://www.ocregister.com/tag/joe-biden/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> and former President <a href="https://www.ocregister.com/tag/donald-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> go head-to-head in the first debate of the 2024 general election. They wanted to hear about climate, abortion and immigration from the White House contenders, many said. But voters in both parties left concerned about how both men appeared during the debate, and whether they answered the questions posed to them.</p> <p>Just short of four dozen people — a pretty even mix of older and younger, men and women — gathered on the patio of Sgt. Pepperoni&#8217;s Pizza Store. Irvine is reliably blue, and those who turned out to watch the debate were there to cheer on Biden.</p> <div class="article-slideshow" id="mng-gallery-b4d0652c5fb6c6d7d8bca6b56339066c"><button class="icon-close mng-gallery-fullscreen-close" aria-label="Close fullscreen slideshow"></button><ul data-total="15" class="mng-gallery-initialized mng-gallery-slider"><button id="mng-gallery-prev" class="mng-gallery-prev mng-gallery-arrow" aria-label="Previous" type="button"></button><div class="mng-gallery-list draggable"><div class="mng-gallery-track"><li data-index="1" class="mng-ge mng-gallery-active" id="mng-ge-0" aria-hidden="false" tabindex="0"><div class="image-wrapper"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="664" src="https://www.dailybreeze.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/OCR-L-PRESDEBATE1-0628-KB11.jpg" class="attachment-article_inline size-article_inline lazyload" alt="Locals watch as President Biden debates former president Donald Trump..." draggable="false" data-sizes="auto" data-srcset="https://www.dailybreeze.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/OCR-L-PRESDEBATE1-0628-KB11.jpg?w=620 620w,https://www.dailybreeze.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/OCR-L-PRESDEBATE1-0628-KB11.jpg?w=780 780w,https://www.dailybreeze.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/OCR-L-PRESDEBATE1-0628-KB11.jpg?w=810 810w,https://www.dailybreeze.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/OCR-L-PRESDEBATE1-0628-KB11.jpg?w=1280 1280w,https://www.dailybreeze.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/OCR-L-PRESDEBATE1-0628-KB11.jpg?w=1860 1860w" data-src="https://www.dailybreeze.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/OCR-L-PRESDEBATE1-0628-KB11.jpg" /><p class="slide-credit"></p><p class="slide-caption">Locals watch as President Biden debates former president Donald Trump during a Republican watch party of the presidential debate at Busbys West in Santa Monica on Thursday, June 27, 2024.

I pushed him off, but he punched me in the face and attacked her again. I tackled him, and he turned his attention towards me, attempting to strangle me and biting my ear.&#8221;</p> <aside class="related left"><h2 class="widget-title" data-curated-ids="" data-relation-type="automatic-primary-section">Related Articles</h2><ul><li> <div class="entry-section"><a href="https://www.dailybreeze.com/news/crime-and-public-safety/">Crime and Public Safety | </a></div> <a class="article-title" href="https://www.dailybreeze.com/2024/07/22/fireworks-possibly-caused-destructive-hawarden-fire-authorities-say/" title="Fireworks possibly caused destructive Hawarden fire in Riverside, authorities say"> <span class="dfm-title metered"> Fireworks possibly caused destructive Hawarden fire in Riverside, authorities say </span> </a> </li><li> <div class="entry-section"><a href="https://www.dailybreeze.com/news/crime-and-public-safety/">Crime and Public Safety | </a></div> <a class="article-title" href="https://www.dailybreeze.com/2024/07/22/la-superior-courts-closed-today-following-ransomware-attack/" title="LA Superior courts closed Monday following ransomware attack"> <span class="dfm-title metered"> LA Superior courts closed Monday following ransomware attack </span> </a> </li><li> <div class="entry-section"><a href="https://www.dailybreeze.com/news/crime-and-public-safety/">Crime and Public Safety | </a></div> <a class="article-title" href="https://www.dailybreeze.com/2024/07/21/3-5-quake-strikes-near-palos-verdes-estates/" title="3.5 earthquake strikes near Palos Verdes Estates"> <span class="dfm-title metered"> 3.5 earthquake strikes near Palos Verdes Estates </span> </a> </li><li> <div class="entry-section"><a href="https://www.dailybreeze.com/news/crime-and-public-safety/">Crime and Public Safety | </a></div> <a class="article-title" href="https://www.dailybreeze.com/2024/07/21/woman-killed-man-injured-in-stabbing-at-wilmington-home-suspect-arrested/" title="Woman killed, man injured in stabbing at Wilmington home; suspect arrested"> <span class="dfm-title premium"> Woman killed, man injured in stabbing at Wilmington home; suspect arrested </span> </a> </li><li> <div class="entry-section"><a href="https://www.dailybreeze.com/news/crime-and-public-safety/">Crime and Public Safety | </a></div> <a class="article-title" href="https://www.dailybreeze.com/2024/07/21/extended-heat-wave-bakes-southern-california-mountain-valley-areas-adds-wildfire-risks/" title="Extended heat wave bakes Southern California mountain, valley areas, adds wildfire risks"> <span class="dfm-title metered"> Extended heat wave bakes Southern California mountain, valley areas, adds wildfire risks </span> </a> </li></ul></aside> <p>According to Closeup, the man then grabbed another woman, dragged her into the ocean surf and tried to drown her, but a lifeguard intervened until police arrived and took the man into custody.</p> <p>Anyone with information was urged to contact the SMPD watch commander at 310-458-8427.</p> https://www.dailybreeze.com/2024/06/21/summer-means-100-plus-temps-in-la-county-valleys-and-ie-cities-over-weekend/ santa-monica – Daily Breeze urn:uuid:6f144fa1-f726-7d2f-24cb-a962c0eca888 Fri, 21 Jun 2024 16:27:47 +0000 The first weekend of summer and the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys are hit with heat advisories. <p>Summer 2024 is coming in like a lion in Southern California.</p> <p>A ferocious wave of heat will roar with temperatures of 100-plus degrees in the San Fernando Valley, Santa Clarita Valley and the Inland Empire on Saturday and Sunday, while highs in the mid-90s will hit the San Gabriel Valley, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).</p> <p>The high pressure system in the southwestern United States is causing the hot weather this weekend in Southern California inland valleys. Heat advisories will be in effect from 10 a.m. Saturday to 8 p.m. Sunday for the IE, the east San Fernando Valley, west San Fernando Valley, Santa Clarita Valley and entire San Gabriel Valley.</p> <p>San Bernardino and Riverside counties are under heat advisories this weekend, including the cities of Moreno Valley, Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga, San Bernardino, Riverside, Corona and Ontario, according to the NWS. High temperatures will range from 98 degrees to 105 degrees.</p> <p>Orange County inland areas will see highs from 88 degrees to 93 degrees, the NWS forecasted on Friday, while coastal areas won&#8217;t go above 80 degrees.</p> <p>An overlay of humidity from <a href="https://apnews.com/article/tropical-storm-alberto-gulf-hurricane-season-53b8efa54caf43e7bc746126d28bfa04">Tropical Storm Alberto</a> leaving Mexico and Texas will add to the heat index. Meaning you can&#8217;t say &#8220;at least it is a dry heat.&#8221; It also brings a 10% to 20% chance of thunderstorms for all of Southern California, said David Gomberg, meteorologist with NWS on Friday.</p> <p>Living in areas with heat advisories could make you sick. Too much sun can cause heat exhaustion and that usually includes nausea, muscle cramps, dizziness and clammy skin. Heat stroke is when the body temperature can reach 103 degrees and cause confusion and even loss of consciousness. Heat stroke is a medical emergency and requires calling 911.</p> <p>“On hot days, it&#8217;s important for everyone to both take care of themselves and check on others, especially those who have a higher chance of getting ill due to the heat. Some of them include children, the elderly, those with health conditions, pregnant people, those living alone and pets,” said Dr. Muntu Davis, Los Angeles County health officer.</p> <p>Health officials say the best way to deal with the heat is to stay out of the sun as much as possible. If going out, wear light-colored clothing, a hat or carry a sun-shielding umbrella. Also, remain hydrated and stay in air-conditioned rooms.</p> <figure id="attachment_6596470" class="wp-caption aligncenter size-article_inline"><img decoding="async" class=" lazyautosizes lazyload" src="https://www.dailybreeze.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/LDN-L-HEAT-0622-002.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&amp;ssl=1" alt="The Woodland Hills Park pool looks like a cool oasis in the San Fernando Valley on Friday, June 21, 2024.

Women are entitled to equality in every job, in every workplace, and in every industry.&#8221;</p> <p>According to the state, the settlement requires the company to retain a consultant to make recommendations for compensation and promotion policies and training; contract with a third-party monitor to audit the company&#8217;s sexual harassment, retaliation and discrimination compliance; ensure staff training on the issues; and provide information to all employees about their right to file complaints without fear of retaliation.</p> <p>Women who worked for the company between 2014 and 2024 may also be eligible for compensation.

And it is also very interesting,&#8221; added Riley on Monday, May 20, who teaches evolutionary biology and wildlife conservation at UCLA.</p> <p>Next up, he said, is to turn on remote cameras in the park, dormant since P-22&#8217;s demise, and begin pinpointing the cat&#8217;s location using the video feed. Once the animal is located, biologists from the National Park Service&#8217;s mountain lion project will sedate the animal, draw blood, then place a tracking collar on the big cat to keep track of his whereabouts, what he eats &#8212; and even if he&#8217;s still in the park.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <figure class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="lazyautosizes lazyload" src="https://www.dailybreeze.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/lion-top-p22.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&amp;ssl=1" alt="This November 2014 photo provided by the National Park Service shows the Griffith Park mountain lion known as P-22.

It would be more amazing that another one also safely crossed the 101 Freeway to reach the park, something Riley and other experts strongly suspect.</p> <p>&#8220;It is most likely a younger male, at least 18 months old,&#8221; Riley said. He may have been chased across the freeway by an older male &#8212; the males often fight each other, sometimes to the death.</p> <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-article_inline lazyautosizes lazyload" src="https://www.dailybreeze.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/LDN-L-NEWCAT-MAP-0521.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&amp;ssl=1" alt="" data-sizes="auto" data-src="https://www.dailybreeze.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/LDN-L-NEWCAT-MAP-0521.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&amp;ssl=1" data-attachment-id="6365026" data-srcset="https://www.dailybreeze.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/LDN-L-NEWCAT-MAP-0521.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&amp;ssl=1 620w,https://www.dailybreeze.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/LDN-L-NEWCAT-MAP-0521.jpg?fit=780%2C9999px&amp;ssl=1 780w,https://www.dailybreeze.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/LDN-L-NEWCAT-MAP-0521.jpg?fit=810%2C9999px&amp;ssl=1 810w,https://www.dailybreeze.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/LDN-L-NEWCAT-MAP-0521.jpg?fit=1280%2C9999px&amp;ssl=1 1280w,https://www.dailybreeze.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/LDN-L-NEWCAT-MAP-0521.jpg?fit=1860%2C9999px&amp;ssl=1 1860w" /></p> <p>If captured, researchers may use his DNA to trace his heritage back to pumas in the Santa Monica Mountains. The stretch from Camarillo to Griffith Park is home to about 12 to 15 mountain lions, but there could be more that the scientists have not collared, Riley said.</p> <p>These lions are extremely isolated. Males fight with other males over the females. But those who do mate are producing damaged offspring, the result of inbreeding. Without a better gene pool, they are expected to be extinct in 15 years. Since the study began in 2002, more than 100 have been collared and studied.</p> <p>To promote safe intermingling, <a href="https://www.dailynews.com/2024/04/19/girders-swing-in-place-for-wildlife-crossing-over-101-freeway-in-agoura-hills/">the $92 million Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing</a> stretching across the 101 Freeway in Agoura Hills is under construction. Once completed in 2026, it will take animals from the south to the north side of the freeway, even into the Los Padres National Forest, where more healthy breeding is possible. The crossing&#8217;s last concrete girder across the freeway was put in place Monday, said Beth Pratt, California regional executive director for the National Wildlife Federation.</p> <p>&#8220;What&#8217;s key is that this mountain lion most likely has crossed the 101 Freeway and no other cat has done that since P-22,&#8221; Pratt said on Monday. &#8220;A lot of cats get killed trying to make this journey.&#8221;</p> <p>Pratt wants to see more wildlife crossings built over other freeways. She also wants crossings within Griffith Park, so wildlife animals don&#8217;t get hit by cars that use the park&#8217;s roads as shortcuts.</p> <p>Though more will be known if and when Riley&#8217;s team collars the lion, Pratt has a kind of deja vu feeling about this one.</p> <p>&#8220;I am excited about the news and I am celebrating it. This cat is also an ambassador,&#8221; she said. &#8220;We don&#8217;t really know where it came from. We need to let the scientists do their job.&#8221;</p> <p>Both Pratt and Riley think this wild cat will stay in Griffith Park. P-22 may have liked the fact that there were no other males to fight off, and he had plenty of mule deer for meals. Pratt believes this puma may have been fleeing from a dominant male.</p> <p>He can stay in the park and hide out, she said. Or risk his life crossing another freeway on his way out. The story is bittersweet &#8212; a tale of wildlife meets civilization &#8212; but like any Hollywood story still in production, one with many possible endings.</p> <p>&#8220;It shows that L.A. can support wildlife and that is a wonderful thing,&#8221; Pratt said.</p> <aside class="related right"> <h2 class="widget-title">Related links</h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.dailynews.com/2022/12/17/mountain-lion-p-22-is-euthanized-wildlife-officials-say/">Beloved mountain lion P-22 is euthanized</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.dailynews.com/2023/02/04/hollywood-cat-p-22s-celebration-of-life-packs-greek-theater/">‘Hollywood Cat’ P-22’s celebration of life packs Greek Theater</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.dailynews.com/2020/05/19/discovering-griffith-park-sheds-light-on-trails-curses-and-history-of-las-largest-park/">‘Discovering Griffith Park’ sheds light on trails, curses and history of LA’s largest park</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.dailynews.com/2024/04/19/girders-swing-in-place-for-wildlife-crossing-over-101-freeway-in-agoura-hills/">Girders swing in place for wildlife crossing over 101 Freeway in Agoura Hills</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.dailynews.com/2016/01/14/mountain-lion-kittens-found-in-santa-monica-mountains/">Mountain lion kittens found in Santa Monica Mountains</a></li> </ul> </aside> <p>&nbsp;</p> https://www.dailybreeze.com/2024/05/15/dine-latino-restaurant-week-highlights-latin-americas-foodie-hotspots/ santa-monica – Daily Breeze urn:uuid:4e680c85-592a-855c-4e9b-e52d5f5829bc Thu, 16 May 2024 11:18:34 +0000 The week-long event will highlight the different Latin American restaurants throughout Southern California. <p>The Latino Restaurant Association is helping to <a href="https://www.ocregister.com/2023/09/21/best-of-orange-county-2023-best-mexican-restaurant/">highlight the flavors of Latin America</a> with its DINE Latino Restaurant Week from May 14-19.</p> <p>In its third year, the event is part of the Los Angeles-based association&#8217;s restaurant program, which aims to spotlight delicious foods from South America, Central America, Mexico, and the islands of the Caribbean. This week, more than 100 restaurants across the cities of Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, San Bernardino and Riverside counties are participating, with offerings including Nativo&#8217;s Plato De Milanesa and Chamo Venezuelan&#8217;s Pollo a la Plancha.</p> <p>During a phone interview, Lilly Rocha, CEO of the Latino Restaurant Association, said that the idea of promoting Latino restaurant owners this way came during the coronavirus pandemic, which heavily impacted the hospitality industry.</p> <p>&#8220;We&#8217;re doing it as a way to share our rich cultural food history and also to let the general public know that there&#8217;s lots of different amazing Latin cuisines,&#8221; Rocha said. &#8220;For example, Mexico has many different regions with different cuisines. Here in LA, we represent not just the states of Mexico but also other Latin countries like Colombia and Ecuador. As a community, we&#8217;re excited to work together and to promote each other.&#8221;</p> <p>The restaurants featured in Latino Restaurant Week are not hand-picked or charged to participate. Instead, the group reaches out to its community members, inviting them to participate. The group&#8217;s mission as a nonprofit is to promote Latin eateries and get customers in their establishments by creating promotional graphics, special menus, and social media campaigns to prepare them for this week. Rocha said the promotions are also meant to get foodies out of their cultural comfort zones.</p> <p>&#8220;I hope people try something new, maybe a different type of cuisine,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I know we all have our favorites, but we&#8217;re hoping people will go out and try something new and see how wonderful it is.&#8221;</p> <p>Here are five restaurants participating in this year&#8217;s Latino Restaurant Week that showcase the different flavors of the Latin diaspora.

It has even served presidents like Theodore Roosevelt, who reportedly had a steak there in 1903. Today it still has that old diner feel with bar seating, green booths and a menu that includes hefty breakfast and steak dishes.</p> <h4>Big Dean&#8217;s Ocean Front Cafe</h4> <p>615 Ocean Front Walk, Santa Monica;  310-393-2666 or <a href="https://www.bigdeansoceanfrontcafe.com/">bigdeansoceanfrontcafe.com</a></p> <p><strong>Founded</strong>: 1902</p> <p>Located at the foot of the Santa Monica Pier, this beachside bar and restaurant first opened as Laring’s Lunch Room and predated the pier by seven years. In its long history it’s been a biker bar, a hangout for bodybuilders and lifeguards and today is still a popular fun spot with a beach/sports bar vibe and hefty servings of comfort food.</p> <p><em><strong>ALSO SEE:</strong> </em><a href="http://www.ocregister.com//2024/04/25/these-are-some-of-the-oldest-restaurants-in-orange-county/">These are some of the oldest restaurants in Orange County</a></p> <h4>Cole’s French Dip</h4> <p>118 E. 6th St, Los Angeles, <a href="https://www.colesfrenchdip.com/">colesfrenchdip.com</a></p> <p><strong>Founded</strong>: 1908</p> <p>This is one of two old L.A. restaurants that claim to have invented the French Dip sandwich. The other is Philippe. Regardless of who invented the famous dish, Cole&#8217;s is deeply dipped into the cultural fabric of the city and was even declared a City of Los Angeles Historical Landmark. Thanks to its old saloon look with dark woods and a speakeasy vibe, it even feels like you&#8217;re stepping back in history when you come inside. While its claim to fame is the French Dip, the cocktail menu is also a must try, especially the various types of Old Fashioned whiskey drinks. Note: Cole&#8217;s French Dip is a 21-and-older establishment.</p> <h4>Philippe The Original</h4> <p>1001 N Alameda St., Los Angeles; 213- 628-3781 or<a href="https://www.philippes.com/"> philippes.com</a></p> <p><strong>Founded</strong>: 1908; at its current location since 1951</p> <p>This famous city staple is a popular hangout for Dodger fans before and after games and it too claims to be the inventor of the<a href="https://www.ocregister.com/2018/04/18/philippe-the-originals-famous-french-dip-sandwiches-now-available-online/"> French Dip sandwich</a>. It’s always busy but don’t be scared when you see the long lines at the deli-display counter — they move fast because this place is all about the regulars who know how to order. First you choose from a variety of meats, like beef and lamb, and then choose from single or double dipped to wet the sandwich. Then you get your tray and find a communal or private table to sit at. Don&#8217;t forget to spread some hot mustard on your sandwich, but be warned, the hot mustard on the table is really hot, like the inside of your nose will burn type of hot.</p> <h4>Musso &amp; Frank Grill</h4> <p>6667 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood,  323-467-7788 or<a href="https://mussoandfrank.com"> mussoandfrank.com</a></p> <p><strong>Founded</strong>: 1919</p> <p>If the walls at this restaurant could talk they would probably have to sign a nondisclosure agreement because the classic American restaurant has long been a hangout for <a href="https://www.ocregister.com/2024/03/10/oscars-2024-see-the-list-of-winners/">Hollywood celebrities</a>. It’s decked out in worn leather booths and a mahogany bar and is known for strong martinis and, of course, steaks. But one of the most popular dishes is the Original Fettuccine Alfredo, which according to the restaurant’s website, was a recipe given to the chef by silent film stars Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford after they went on a trip to Italy.</p> <h4>Barney&#8217;s Beanery</h4> <p>8447 Santa Monica Blvd., West Hollywood; 323-654-2287 or <a href="https://barneysbeanery.com/">barneysbeanery.com</a></p> <p><strong>Founded</strong>: 1920 in Berkeley; moved to L.A. in 1927</p> <p>There are a few of these around but the first local one opened in West Hollywood in 1927 as a small chili cafe. It’s located on Santa Monica Boulevard along the original Route 66, which explains the old license plates that decorate the restaurant and its offshoots. Other decorations that give it a roadhouse feel include multicolored booths and old signs. The large menu is filled with American comfort food dishes and there are dozens of beers on tap at the bar. The original spot was made noteworthy by its famous clientele which included old Hollywood stars and musicians like Jim Morrison, who reportedly once relieved himself on the bar. The restaurant later installed a plaque on that spot to commemorate the Lizard King’s actions.</p> <p><em><strong>ALSO SEE:</strong> </em><a href="http://www.pe.com//2024/04/25/these-are-some-of-the-oldest-restaurants-in-the-inland-empire/">These are some of the oldest restaurant in the Inland Empire</a></p> <h4>Mijares Mexican Restaurant</h4> <p>145 Palmetto Drive, Pasadena; 626-792-2763 or <a href="https://www.mijaresrestaurant.com/index.html">mijaresrestaurant.com</a></p> <p><strong>Founded</strong>: 1920</p> <p>The restaurant describes itself as “Pasadena’s best kept secret” on its website. Well someone let the secret out long ago because it has survived for more than 100 years after it was founded by Jesucita Mijares. The family matriarch  moved to Pasadena from Jalisco, Mexico, and opened a small restaurant using her original recipes, making tortillas, tamales and sauces with her metate stone grinder, which according the restaurant’s website, she carried from Mexico. Today it’s known not only for its food but also for its margaritas, with about 30 different types on the menu.</p> <h4>Tam O’ Shanter</h4> <p>2980 Los Feliz Blvd, Los Angeles,  323-664-0228 or <a href="https://www.lawrysonline.com/tam-o-shanter">lawrysonline.com/tam-o-shanter</a>.</p> <p><strong>Founded</strong>: 1922</p> <p>Bring you bagpipes and let the scotch flow at this traditional Scottish steakhouse. Not only is the atmosphere lively here but the decor will take you back to Scotland too. The exterior resembles a Scottish inn while inside it’s decked out like an old-world pub with waiters clad in plaid. A must try at <a href="https://www.sbsun.com/2018/01/24/why-the-hottest-party-in-l-a-celebrated-a-long-gone-scottish-poet/">Tam O&#8217; Shanter</a> is the prime rib and any of their numerous whiskeys.</p> <h4>El Cholo</h4> <p>1121 S. Western Ave., Los Angeles, 323- 734-2773 or <a href="https://www.elcholo.com/locations.html">elcholo.com</a></p> <p><strong>Founded</strong>: 1923</p> <p>This iconic Mexican restaurant first opened in 1923 as Sonora Café but the name was changed to El Cholo in 1927. The family-run restaurant became a hangout for future stars like Jack Nicholson and other young actors who came for inexpensive food like a bowl of Frijoles a la Hoja (beans in a pot) which set them back about 35 cents. You can still taste history there today with dishes on the menu that date back decades like the Sonora Style Enchilada and Joe’s Traditional Albondigas, which both date back to 1923.</p> <h4>Joe Jost’s</h4> <p>2803 E. Anaheim St., Long Beach,  562-439-5446 or <a href="https://joejosts.com/">joejosts.com</a></p> <p><strong>Founded</strong>: 1924</p> <p>While the vibe here is more dive bar that fancy restaurant, Joe Jost’s serves must try sandwiches like the “Joe’s Special” which consists of a Polish Sausage made from an in-house blend of spices, topped with slice of Swiss cheese and mustard on rye bread. The place is also famous for its pickled eggs, which are served on a mound of pretzels with chili peppers. <a href="https://www.presstelegram.com/2014/11/26/joe-josts-in-long-beach-an-old-school-bar-with-old-school-grub/">Joe Jost&#8217;s</a> has even been a popular film location with movies like “The Bodyguard,” and “Gone in 60 Seconds” recording scenes there.</p> <div class="googlemaps"> <iframe loading="lazy" width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1yTcd_g3I_mKeqtX_053hGUU30FpENq8&#038;ehbc=2E312F"></iframe> </div> <aside class="related left"><h2 class="widget-title" data-curated-ids="" data-relation-type="automatic-primary-tag">Related Articles</h2><ul><li> <div class="entry-section"><a href="https://www.dailybreeze.com/things-to-do/restaurants-food-drink/">Restaurants Food and Drink | </a></div> <a class="article-title" href="https://www.dailybreeze.com/2024/05/17/sammy-hagar-kicks-off-grand-opening-of-the-sand-bar-in-huntington-beach/" title="Sammy Hagar kicks off grand opening of the Sand Bar in Huntington Beach"> <span class="dfm-title metered"> Sammy Hagar kicks off grand opening of the Sand Bar in Huntington Beach </span> </a> </li><li> <div class="entry-section"><a href="https://www.dailybreeze.com/things-to-do/restaurants-food-drink/">Restaurants Food and Drink | </a></div> <a class="article-title" href="https://www.dailybreeze.com/2024/05/17/michelin-guide-awards-stars-to-18-restaurants-in-mexico-including-1-with-a-socal-tie/" title="Michelin Guide awards stars to 18 restaurants in Mexico, including 1 with a SoCal tie"> <span class="dfm-title metered"> Michelin Guide awards stars to 18 restaurants in Mexico, including 1 with a SoCal tie </span> </a> </li><li> <div class="entry-section"><a href="https://www.dailybreeze.com/things-to-do/restaurants-food-drink/">Restaurants Food and Drink | </a></div> <a class="article-title" href="https://www.dailybreeze.com/2024/05/17/downtown-disney-goes-upscale-with-3-new-elevated-restaurants/" title="Downtown Disney goes upscale with 3 new ‘elevated’ restaurants"> <span class="dfm-title metered"> Downtown Disney goes upscale with 3 new ‘elevated’ restaurants </span> </a> </li><li> <div class="entry-section"><a href="https://www.dailybreeze.com/things-to-do/restaurants-food-drink/">Restaurants Food and Drink | </a></div> <a class="article-title" href="https://www.dailybreeze.com/2024/05/15/dine-latino-restaurant-week-highlights-latin-americas-foodie-hotspots/" title="Dine Latino Restaurant Week highlights Latin America’s foodie hotspots"> <span class="dfm-title metered"> Dine Latino Restaurant Week highlights Latin America’s foodie hotspots </span> </a> </li><li> <div class="entry-section"><a href="https://www.dailybreeze.com/things-to-do/restaurants-food-drink/">Restaurants Food and Drink | </a></div> <a class="article-title" href="https://www.dailybreeze.com/2024/05/14/la-county-home-kitchens-used-for-food-sales-to-be-subject-to-permits-regulations/" title="LA County home kitchens used for food sales to be subject to permits, regulations"> <span class="dfm-title metered"> LA County home kitchens used for food sales to be subject to permits, regulations </span> </a> </li></ul></aside> https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2022/03/07/man-arrested-for-attempted-murder-in-front-of-santa-monica-salvation-army/ Santa Monica – CBS Los Angeles urn:uuid:94cf5721-0e7b-b037-8794-7a0dd903bfbf Tue, 08 Mar 2022 02:21:44 +0000 Police arrested a 29-year-old man for stabbing someone multiple times in front a Salvation Army early Monday morning.  <p><strong>SANTA MONICA (CBSLA) </strong>— Police arrested a 29-year-old man for stabbing someone multiple times in front of a Salvation Army early Monday morning.</p> <p>According to the Santa Monica Police Department, officers responded to the Salvation Army off of Fourth Street to investigate an apparent assault with a deadly weapon.

Burns seeks $1.5 million in damages in the suit brought Thursday.</p> <p>A representative for the 53-year-old &#8220;Grandma&#8217;s Boy&#8221; actor could not be immediately reached for comment.</p> <p>On Jan. 3 at about 5:15 p.m., Burns went to Lares, a Mexican food restaurant on Pico Boulevard where he regularly dines, the suit states. Burns, who is elderly and has heart disease, entered through the back door due to management&#8217;s COVID-19 safety protocols and was directed to his table after his temperature was taken and he showed his vaccination card, the suit states.</p> <p>Dante was &#8220;purposefully blocking&#8221; the area Burns needed to pass through and although the plaintiff excused himself, a visibly drunk Dante began &#8220;verbally assaulting&#8221; him, according to the suit.</p> <p>Dante then began asking Burns invasive and personal questions in a menacing tone, and called the plaintiff&#8217;s answers &#8220;stupid,&#8221; the suit states.</p> <p>&#8220;Plaintiff was humiliated in the small space in front of the staff whom he knows well and the other diners,&#8221; the suit states.</p> <p>Dante, who allegedly ignored Burns&#8217; requests to stop talking to him, called the plaintiff a &#8220;sissy&#8221; and asked if he was going to do anything about it, but Burns responded that he did not want to fight, according to the suit.</p> <p>Dante made antisemitic remarks about Burns&#8217; appearance, saying he was an &#8220;old Jew&#8221; with a &#8220;Jew nose,&#8221; the suit alleges.</p> <p>Dante later approached Burns&#8217; table and stood over the plaintiff in a threatening manner, leaving Burns feeling he was about to be attacked, the suit states. When Burns told a waiter he was leaving, Dante yelled, &#8220;See sissy running away,&#8221; according to the suit.</p> <p>Dante chased Burns around a large table and the plaintiff was able to call the police, telling the operator to stay on the phone with him because he feared for his safety, the suit states.</p> <p>The restaurant owner&#8217;s daughter approached and kept Dante away from Burns, then told the actor, &#8220;Pay your bill and get out. You&#8217;re out of here,&#8221; the suit states.</p> <p>Dante eventually left. Burns, who felt humiliated and believes his reputation was damaged, has continued to have nightmares as well as a feeling of apprehension when he is in public places, especially while visiting Lares, according to the suit.</p> <p><i><span style="font-weight: 400">(© Copyright 2022 CBS Broadcasting Inc.

Mountain lions &#8212; also known as cougars &#8212; are a bellwether species, making them a leading indicator that inbreeding could soon cause problems for other species in the Santa Monica and Santa Ana mountains, the authors said.</p> <p>The California Department of Transportation has scheduled groundbreaking for early 2022 on one such wildlife crossing, a bridge over the Ventura (101) Freeway in Agoura Hills, thanks to a mix of public and private funding.</p> <p>Biologists and land managers hope this project will lead to more crossings. Early plans are being formulated for a possible structure over Interstate 15 in Riverside County.</p> <p>The latest study draws on work by scientists from UCLA, the National Park Service&#8217;s Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area and the UC Davis Wildlife Health Center. Both the NPS and UC Davis are carrying out long-term studies of Southern California mountain lion populations, currently following 17 cats.</p> <p>Over the past year, the research team identified nine adult males from the Santa Monica and Santa Ana ranges with signs of inbreeding, including the first evidence of reduced fertility.</p> <p>Their findings are similar to the signs of severe inbreeding seen early on among most Florida panthers in the 1990s, including the kinked tails, undescended testes and teratospermia (60% or more abnormal sperm), Huffmeyer noted. The Florida panther population only recovered with the introduction of mountain lions from Texas.</p> <p>&#8220;The Florida panthers were also severely isolated and severely inbred, so the fact that we&#8217;re seeing the same traits in our mountain lion population is alarming,&#8221; she said. &#8220;If we don&#8217;t do anything to introduce more genetic diversity to the Southern California mountain lions, we will have more males with reproductive problems, fewer kittens and a lower rate of kitten survival.&#8221;</p> <p>The scientists cited a real risk of extinction for the mountain lions in the Santa Monica and Santa Ana ranges. Once significant inbreeding depression is found &#8212; meaning decreased fertility and reduced kitten survival &#8211; &#8211; extinction is predicted to occur within 50 years, according to 2016 and 2019 papers evaluating population viability that included scientists from UCLA, NPS, UC Davis, the University of Wyoming, and the University of Nebraska.</p> <p>While a few mountain lions &#8212; in particular the cougar known as P-22, who frequents Griffith Park &#8212; have successfully crossed freeways, far more have been killed trying to do so.</p> https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2021/12/31/how-to-watch-santa-monica-pier-countdown-to-2022/ Santa Monica – CBS Los Angeles urn:uuid:bb9f4874-c285-62d8-780e-63b94b6cbc9d Sat, 01 Jan 2022 05:05:43 +0000 The Santa Monica Pier's Countdown to 2022 show will be available for viewing in person from the bluff at Pacific Palisades, or via stream online. <div class="featured-video"><div class="anvato-iframe-wrapper"><div id="p2"></div></div><script>cbsoptanon.onScriptsReady(function(cmp){cmp.ot.targetingAllowed(function(a){if(a) AnvatoPlayer("p2").init({"mcp":"cbs","width":"100%","height":"100%","video":"6180197","autoplay":false,"titleVisible":false,"accessKey":"5VD6Eyd6djewbCmNwBFnsJj17YAvGRwl","accessControl":{"preview":false},"pInstance":"p2","plugins":{"heartbeat":{"account":"cbslocal-global-unified","publisherId":"cbslocal","jobId":"sc_va","marketingCloudId":"823BA0335567497F7F000101@AdobeOrg","trackingServer":"cbsdigitalmedia.hb.omtrdc.net","customTrackingServer":"cbsdigitalmedia.d1.sc.omtrdc.net","chapterTracking":false,"version":"1.5","customMetadata":{"video":{"cbs_market":"losangeles.cbslocal.com","cbs_platform":"desktop"}}},"comscore":{"clientId":"3000023","c3":"LosAngeles.cbslocal.com"},"dfp":{"clientSide":{"adTagUrl":"http:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ads?sz=2x2&iu=\/4128\/CBS.LA&ciu_szs&impl=s&gdfp_req=1&env=vp&output=xml_vast2&unviewed_position_start=1&url=[referrer_url]&description_url=[description_url]&correlator=[timestamp]","keyValues":{"categories":"[[CATEGORIES]]","program":"[[PROGRAM_NAME]]","siteSection":"video-default"}}},"moat":{"clientSide":{"partnerCode":"cbslocalanvatovideo181732609431"}}},"token":"default","expectPreroll":true,"expectPrerollTimeout":5});});});</script></div><p><strong>SANTA MONICA (CBSLA) — </strong>The Santa Monica Pier is geared up to head into 2022, with a virtual show and countdown displayed in lights on the Santa Monica Ferris Wheel.</p> <p>The pier invites the public to join them in counting down to 2022 with a show on the world-renowned Ferris Wheel, which will display the &#8220;West Coast New Year’s Eve Countdown 2022 on The Pacific Wheel.”</p> <p>People are invited to view the show from the bluff at Pacific Palisades, or online <a href="http://www.pacpark.com/countdown2022">via stream here</a>.

You know, there were other people around in Santa Monica.&#8221;</p> <p>Santa Monica Police are still investigating whether the attack was a hate crime.

After being told that there were no other options, his father found Dr. Erlinda Gordon from the Sarcoma Oncology Center in Santa Monica. The Faghihs reached out to Dr. Gordon to see if Kian could receive an experimental treatment she created called, DeltaRex-G, an innovative gene-targeted cancer therapy.</p> <p>Gordon said yes, making Kian the youngest patient to receive DeltaRex-G.</p> <p>“His prognosis, really, this is his last hope. He’s tried everything … as soon as he got here, we were able to give it to him the same day he arrived,” Gordon said.</p> <p>For almost three weeks, Kian has been receiving infusions of DeltaRex-G. Unlike chemotherapy, there are no harsh side effects with this treatment since it&#8217;s a genetic medicine that directly targets the tumor.</p> <p>&#8220;It will go there and nowhere else so it doesn’t cause collateral damage,&#8221; Gordon said. &#8220;What it does is it sends the message to the cancer cell to stop dividing. It’s not only the cancer cells themselves that Delta Rex kills. It also kills the blood supply of the tumor.&#8221;</p> <p>Jamshid has already seen improvements in Kian, who will be receiving his last treatment of DeltaRex-G on Friday.</p> <p>&#8220;The medication that he’s getting here (Kian) started having better breathing and he was feeling more comfortable,&#8221; Jamshid said. &#8220;It feels great, it’s like a miracle for us.”</p> <p>However, this treatment is not available through drug or insurance companies, but through a non-profit public charity founded by Dr. Gordon.

Gavin Newsom in office on Tuesday, ending a statewide recall election that saw some Republicans again float unfounded claims of voter fraud.</p> <p>Days before the polls closed, the campaign of one of the leading Republican candidates promoted a website urging people to sign a petition that declared Newsom had already won because of voter fraud. That language was lifted from a petition circulated to help former President Donald Trump&#8217;s effort to overturn last year&#8217;s presidential election results.</p> <p>By Tuesday afternoon, that language was removed from the website, leaving only a form for people to report “irregularities, interference, or intimidation while voting.” A spokeswoman for Elder said the website is operated by a third party and that “websites update their language all the time.&#8221;</p> <p>Elder did not revive any such claims Tuesday night, quickly conceding the race and urging booing supporters to “be gracious in defeat.&#8221;</p> <p>The claims of fraud — both from Elder and former President Donald Trump — prompted a rebuke from Newsom in an election night victory speech.</p> <p>“Democracy is not a football. You don&#8217;t throw it around,” Newsom said. “It&#8217;s more like a, I don&#8217;t know, an antique vase. You can drop it and smash it into a million different pieces. And that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re capable of doing if we don&#8217;t stand up to meet the moment and push back.”</p> <p>There were few reported problems with voting on Tuesday. A polling center in Tulare County was closed because of a wildfire, with voters redirected to nearby alternatives. And a poll worker at a West Hollywood voting site was removed for wearing a pro-Trump shirt, according to the Los Angeles County Registrar’s Office.</p> <p>In the Woodland Hills neighborhood last weekend, some people who showed up said they were told they had already voted, which the registrar&#8217;s office said was caused by settings on some computers used to check in voters. The office said those affected were allowed to <a href="https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2021/09/13/some-in-person-voting-problems-reported-la-ventura-counties/">cast provisional ballots</a>, which act as placeholders until voter eligibility is determined. Similarly, a Newsmax reporter tweeted Tuesday that he was told he had already voted at an Orange County polling place. The county registrar said he couldn&#8217;t comment on this case, but anecdotally this situation happens “but in small numbers” and often there is an explanation. He, too, was allowed to cast a provisional ballot.</p> <p>Some Republicans worried the fraud claims from some party leaders could suppress turnout. Harmeet Dhillon, an attorney and the national committeewoman of the Republican National Committee for California, said she made a video with her husband showing them casting ballots by mail and urging everyone to do the same.</p> <p>But Dhillon also said she could not say whether California&#8217;s election would be secure, saying she and a team of attorneys monitoring voting have witnessed dozens of problems.</p> <p>“There will be a lot of questions and potentially litigation after this election about this sloppy-at-best treatment of people’s ballots and their right to vote,” Dhillon said.</p> <p>The GOP&#8217;s predicament was similar to that in last year&#8217;s presidential election, when many in the party feared that Trump&#8217;s claims about widespread fraud from expanded mail-in voting would backfire by persuading Republicans to stay home.</p> <p>In California, the GOP needed all the help it could get.</p> <p>Democrats make up 46.5% of all registered voters, while Republicans make up just 24%. Independent voters are roughly equivalent to Republicans, but tend to vote Democratic. Republicans have not won a statewide office since 2006, when Arnold Schwarzenegger won reelection as governor.</p> <p><i><span style="font-weight: 400">(© Copyright 2021 The Associated Press.

And 43-year-old UAE national Rashid Sultan Rashid Al Malik Alshahhi – alleges the trio acted and conspired to act as agents of the UAE between April 2016 and April 2018. <a href="https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2021/07/23/indicted-trump-ally-thomas-barrack-granted-250-million-bond-ordered-wear-gps-monitoring-bracelet/">Barrack</a> is additionally charged with obstruction of justice and making false statements during a June 2019 interview with federal law enforcement agents.</p> <p>“The defendants repeatedly capitalized on Barrack’s friendships and access to a candidate who was eventually elected President, high-ranking campaign and government officials and the American media to advance the policy goals of a foreign government without disclosing their true allegiances,” Mark Lesko, acting assistant attorney general of the Justice Department’s National Security Division, said in a statement.</p> <p>Barrack, who founded LA-based Colony Capital Inc., served as an informal adviser to the Trump campaign before the 2016 Election and as chairman of Trump’s inaugural committee between November 2016 and January 2017. Federal prosecutors say Barrack sought appointment to a senior administration post, including the role of Special Envoy to the Middle East.</p> <p>According to the Department of Justice, Barrack regularly and repeatedly used his position to advance the interests of the UAE. Prosecutors say Barrack inserted language praising the UAE into a May 2016 Trump campaign speech about U.S. energy policy, and sought direction from UAE officials in advance of an op-ed he published in a national magazine in October of 2016. Following Trump’s election, prosecutors say Barrack continued to advance the UAE’s interests by promoting the candidacy of an unidentified person for the position of U.S. Ambassador to the UAE, and advising against a proposed summit with Qatar and other Middle Eastern governments at Camp David that the UAE opposed.</p> <p>Barrack, Grimes, and Alshahhi did not provide the required notification to the Attorney General that they were acting in the U.S. as agents of a foreign government, prosecutors said.</p> <p>Barrack is expected to appear in federal court in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon. Grimes was also arrested on Tuesday, but Alshahhi remains at large.</p> https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2021/07/13/la-county-sheriffs-deputies-called-on-to-help-address-growing-homelessness-crisis-on-santa-monicas-third-street-promenade/ Santa Monica – CBS Los Angeles urn:uuid:f34abda0-1c05-cdc2-7205-58da2a93e967 Wed, 14 Jul 2021 01:25:19 +0000 Local business and property owners on Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade say the homeless crisis is so out of control there that they want to hire sheriff's deputies to help. <div class="featured-video"><div class="anvato-iframe-wrapper"><div id="p18"></div></div><script>cbsoptanon.onScriptsReady(function(cmp){cmp.ot.targetingAllowed(function(a){if(a) AnvatoPlayer("p18").init({"mcp":"cbs","width":"100%","height":"100%","video":"5780226","autoplay":false,"titleVisible":false,"accessKey":"5VD6Eyd6djewbCmNwBFnsJj17YAvGRwl","accessControl":{"preview":false},"pInstance":"p18","plugins":{"heartbeat":{"account":"cbslocal-global-unified","publisherId":"cbslocal","jobId":"sc_va","marketingCloudId":"823BA0335567497F7F000101@AdobeOrg","trackingServer":"cbsdigitalmedia.hb.omtrdc.net","customTrackingServer":"cbsdigitalmedia.d1.sc.omtrdc.net","chapterTracking":false,"version":"1.5","customMetadata":{"video":{"cbs_market":"losangeles.cbslocal.com","cbs_platform":"desktop"}}},"comscore":{"clientId":"3000023","c3":"LosAngeles.cbslocal.com"},"dfp":{"clientSide":{"adTagUrl":"http:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ads?sz=2x2&iu=\/4128\/CBS.LA&ciu_szs&impl=s&gdfp_req=1&env=vp&output=xml_vast2&unviewed_position_start=1&url=[referrer_url]&description_url=[description_url]&correlator=[timestamp]","keyValues":{"categories":"[[CATEGORIES]]","program":"[[PROGRAM_NAME]]","siteSection":"video-default"}}},"moat":{"clientSide":{"partnerCode":"cbslocalanvatovideo181732609431"}}},"token":"default","expectPreroll":true,"expectPrerollTimeout":5});});});</script></div><p><strong>SANTA MONICA (CBSLA)</strong> &#8212; A Santa Monica man is suing the city over conditions in the downtown area due to the growing homeless population.</p> <p>John Alle, along with other Promenade property and business owners, say they are not getting help from city officials so they&#8217;re turning to L.A.
