Today's riddle: Why did the chicken go to the gym? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Cracking Seawall Raises Concern In Laguna Beach As Strong Surf Pummels Coast (patch.com) — Laguna Beach homeowners and beachgoers are watching a cracked seawall near Ocean Avenue with growing unease as powerful surf and high tides pound the coast over Labor Day weekend. City crews have already closed Aliso Beach's parking lot, removed nearby electrical lines, and begun backfilling eroded areas while residents brace for more dangerous waves and rip currents fueled by offshore Hurricane Marie.
2. Laguna Beach Residents May Vote To Put Term Limits On City Officials: Prop E (patch.com) — Laguna Beach voters will decide in November whether to cap city councilmembers at two consecutive four-year terms under Measure E, with a required two-year break before running again. The proposal, placed on the ballot by the council last December, would introduce term limits for the first time and could reshape future local leadership and election dynamics.
3. Laguna Beach dedicates new fire engine with 'push-in' ceremony (latimes.com subscription) — Laguna Beach has officially put a new Pierce Enforcer fire engine into service at Fire Station No. 2, replacing a 2005 engine that served the city for two decades. City leaders, firefighters, and dispatchers marked the change with a traditional push-in ceremony, highlighting how the upgraded equipment will continue protecting residents and visitors across Laguna Beach neighborhoods.
4. This free 'Sandbag Saturdays' workout on the beach is killer — and fans can't get enough (latimes.com subscription) — Every Saturday, locals gather at Thousand Steps Beach in South Laguna for a free "Sandbag Saturdays" workout that turns the steep staircase and hillside into a community fitness challenge. Founded by brothers with deep ties to the area, the inclusive sessions draw everyone from firefighters to families, offering a tough cardio routine and a welcoming social scene right on Laguna's shoreline.
5. Hurricane Marie tracking away from LA, but beaches will still be hit hard (kansascity.com) — Laguna Beach beaches, including Aliso Beach and Crescent Bay, are expected to see dangerous surf, rip currents, and possible minor flooding this Labor Day weekend as Hurricane Marie passes offshore. After several recent drownings in Laguna Beach waters, officials urge residents to swim only near lifeguards, stay off rocks and jetties, and consider backup plans for outdoor events if light rain arrives Sunday.
