It’s Saturday, July 7th. WEHO, Lompoc, The Olive Capital, Revitalized Commune
Hi Friends!
As I said in the podcast the other day, we will try some new things this week, including a matching game from the old days.
Unless we have a personal story about the post, we'll also tone down our commentary on stories.
Other than that, it will be short, sweet, and to the point, with a link to the whole story.
Be Well! Stay Safe! Stay Hydrated!
Mark & Patti
Here’s WEHO, West Hollywood (a place to explore) at its best from Brian De Los Santos of LAist.
Here’s a list of a dozen beaches in LA County that aren’t safe for playing in, even when the temps get over 100. The full story from Makenna Sieverston of LAist is here.
A weird commune from the past is reborn as a very exciting hot springs spa. Here’s the entire story from Olivia Harden, Travel Reporter, SF Gate.
Why is the Olive Capital of the World being ignored and it’s right here in California?
A five-year-old boy is recovering after a mountain lion attack at Malibu Creek State Park in the Santa Monica Mountains. Erin Rode, Contributing LA Outdoors Editor, SF Gate, has the story.
A NY Bodega in LA? No way! But, yes there is a growing community of Bodegas in the Los Angeles area.
Karen Palmer, Contributing LA Food Editor has the details. Being a fan of NY Bodegas I need to go soon. Maybe we’ll see you there.
Contact in the Desert, an annual Extra-Terrestrial festival, in its 11th year is back and full of ETs! Here’s the entire story from Lauren Colella, SF Gate.
Note: I said on the podcast Lompoc, sorry.
An accountant took his job at this restaurant so seriously, he left his ghost there to keep tabs. Here’s the haunting details from Paula, Mejía, Contributing Culture LA Editor, SF Gate.
Here’s the Lompoc story, and it’s a good one for Lompoc. Santa Barbara, move aside. Lompoc is taking people in. Tessa McLean, California Editor, SF Gate, has the story of the move out of Santa Barbara.
Headed to San Diego? Some of the restaurants named by Fodors as the best places to eat in San Diego, read like a list of movies to see. To see the list click here.
So that’s a wrap for this week. More links than usual, but with less commentary. Hopefully, you’ll like it. Now for some fun.
Below are the pictures I picked for this week.
Match a picture to the story, by letter of the picture to a numbered story, they are not in the order of the stories (we’re. not making it that easy) and next week we’ll reveal the correct answers.
Now, you can cheat and checkout the story and find the pic, but for a challenge try picking out the pick from the short description.
Good Luck!
