Here's a look at what's happening out there today:
It apparently worked in Iraq, so why wouldn't a surge work in Hermosa Beach? City officials there have deemed the police's summertime crackdown on obnoxious Pier Plaza behavior a success. And police tamed the party animals so well that they might try it again.
Hoping to lift spirits in a dismal time, Torrance dentist Gary Lam donated 10 percent of his clients' co-pays this year to non-profit groups. So sweet that I have a toothache now.
Los Angeles' and Long Beach's ports saw a combined 12 percent drop in imports last month, a figure that echoes retailers' concerns that holiday spending might be scant this year.
A Hawthorne Turkish restaurant cannot add live music and belly dancing to its offerings, the Hawthorne City Council decided Tuesday, amid concerns from a neighboring Mosque that the entertainment would hurt the neighborhood.
Think the South Bay housing market is bad already? Well, it's going to get worse. A forecast from the California Association of Realtors expects prices to drop 6 percent in the next year. Meanwhile, rents haven't changed too much, another report finds.
If a tanking economy, impending home foreclosure or the Dodgers' loss doesn't have you hiding under the covers already, use our database to find scares at South Bay haunted houses.
