LA County's oldest restaurant closed Sunday after 139 years. Or did it? Days later, a "reopening under new ownership" sign appeared — but the family who ran it for 30 years says they own the name and never agreed to sell. My latest for LAist: https://t.co/6r6xmy45nN

A legal battle has erupted between the family that operated the business for nearly 30 years and the property owners.

Should developers in car-centric Los Angeles be allowed to build new apartments anywhere in the city with zero on-site parking? Some L.A. City Council members think so. My @LAist story looks at a new motion considering an end to parking requirements city-wide. 🔗👇

My latest: Rooftop solar and battery storage helped these retirees ride out recent power outages. Why isn’t it more widespread?
laist.com
We have more solar than we can use during the day, but recent policies have slowed adoption of batteries to hold onto that power when the sun goes down.

Chantry Flat is finally opening up Oct. 2 after years of being closed off post Bobcat fire. It’s going to look a little different from when I hiked there as a kid. Volunteers did a ton of work on the trails too. H/T @Erstone7 for knowing this was coming! https://t.co/xywbQ4A99c

Love this story from @julia_p_barajas & @AnnieRupertus! There are so many ways to have a good career that helps the planet. Community colleges are true leaders on that front. "These college students want to save the world. There's an internship for that"

A group of local community college students spent the summer learning about climate change — and what they can do to take on the issue professionally.
