📰 News we're reading

• New Lake Elsinore Car Wash Fetches $3.4M (patch.com) — A new Super Star Express Car Wash at Central and Cambern in Lake Elsinore has sold for $3.4 million under a 20-year triple-net ground lease. The property sits within a growing retail center anchored by a Stater Bros. market slated to open later this year, alongside tenants like 7-Eleven and Pollo Campero, signaling continued commercial investment in the city.
   

• Think the heat's been bad in Southern California this summer? This week, it's even worse (laist.com) — Lake Elsinore is under an ozone advisory this week, with air quality expected to reach unhealthy levels for sensitive groups as a brutal heat wave pushes inland temperatures into the triple digits across Southern California. Officials urge older adults, children, pregnant people, and those with heart or lung conditions to limit outdoor time, stay hydrated, and check on vulnerable neighbors and pets. Conditions may ease slightly this weekend but remain hotter than normal.
   

• Padres pitcher Joe Musgrove's injury return timeline gets huge update (clutchpoints.com) — Lake Elsinore baseball followers will note Joe Musgrove's rehab includes work with the local Padres affiliate, as he inches closer to rejoining San Diego's rotation after Tommy John surgery. He's scheduled for a fourth rehab start with Triple‑A El Paso and could return soon, even though his early minor‑league numbers, including time in Lake Elsinore, have been uneven. His comeback could bolster the Padres' playoff push.
