Today's riddle: What has a cap but no head? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Kelvin Wave Closing In On CA, Scientist Warns (patch.com) — Southern California's coast, including Los Angeles, Long Beach and Malibu, is bracing for a weakened but still risky Kelvin wave that could raise sea levels by several inches in the coming days. Scientists warn that even modest baseline sea level increases can sharply boost flood risk when combined with high tides, big swells or storms, especially on recently eroded beaches and low-lying neighborhoods.
2. CA About To Go Petal To The Medal On Speed Cameras: When And Where 185 Cameras Go Live (patch.com) — Los Angeles drivers are about to see 125 new speed cameras switched on starting Oct. 26, forming the largest network in California under a statewide pilot program. Building on results from San Francisco and Oakland, officials expect major reductions in dangerous speeding, while nearby cities like Long Beach, Glendale and Malibu also prepare their own camera deployments along high-crash corridors.
3. 5 New In-N-Out Locations Set To Open Soon In CA: See Where (patch.com) — Los Angeles burger fans can look forward to a new In-N-Out in Woodland Hills, where construction on Ventura Boulevard near Fallbrook Avenue appears nearly complete, though no opening date is set. The chain is also adding new locations in Chino, Commerce, South El Monte, and Stockton, while continuing broader expansion across California and other states.
4. Vacant Storefronts Could Get New Life Under CA Pop-Up Business Law (patch.com) — Los Angeles readers could see empty storefronts activated more quickly under a new California law championed by Assemblymember Mark González of Los Angeles. AB 1679 streamlines temporary permits so pop-up businesses can operate in vacant commercial spaces for up to 120 days, giving local entrepreneurs a lower-risk way to test concepts and build customers.
5. Threat Of Sanitation Strike In LA County Looms As Worker Contracts Expire, Union Says (patch.com) — Los Angeles residents could see trash collection disrupted as contracts for nearly 4,000 Southern California sanitation workers, including many serving LA County, have expired without new agreements. Teamsters Local 396 says negotiations with major haulers like Republic Services and Athens Services continue, but the lapse raises the real possibility of a strike that could affect service across Los Angeles and neighboring counties.
