Here's a roundup of what's doing out there today:
A Hawthorne mosque is opposing plans of a nearby Turkish restaurant to play live music and hire belly dancers. The religious community says the entertainment would be an affront to their faith, while the eatery's owner, also a Muslim, is just trying to keep his business afloat in rough economic times.
Southern California's affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union just got brand new downtown digs, a big step up from its first home 85 years ago in San Pedro.
Work is ongoing to restore the military dog cemetery at San Pedro's Fort Mac.
One woman incorporates strollers into exercise to help new South Bay mummies stay yummy.
And some stragglers from the weekend:
Voters next month will decide on Prop. 5, a proposal to give $385 million in state funding to treat non-violent criminals with addiction problems rather incarcerate them. Check out video telling the story of one local man who found success in such a program.
What's that smell in Carson? Could be Cesar Encarnacion's beloved but stinky carrion flowers. Check out pictures of the blooms here.
A seven-member crew works 10-hour days year-round to keep the 6,062 foot-long Vincent Thomas Bridge looking so good. Check out pictures of the painting process here at your own risk of vertigo.
