You can file this under “Duh!” Last Summer’s Sinkholes and Street Geysers Explaind.

File This Under “Duh!”
Space Issues
Maybe I just have personal space issues, but is it normal for some random person to sit in the booth with you when you’re eating your lunch?
I was sitting in a booth at Subway eating my regular 6-inch tuna on Italian Herb and Cheese bread when a teenager came and sat down in my [...]
LAX Noise Complaint System

National Night Out in LA: August 5th
Netflix Live On Location: August 9th
A BBQ Journey
Monday night a good friend and I set out on a journey for bbq that was not, in any way, intended to be a journey. While discussing dinner options early in the day it was decided that we’d try out one of the many local bbq restaurants in the area. My friend being a [...]
