Husband and Wife Made $700,000 a Year Running ‘Busy' Brothel, Offering Sex at Their Day Spa: DA (usmagazine.com) — Santa Clara County prosecutors say a San Jose couple ran a lucrative brothel out of Hummingbird Day Spa in nearby Cupertino, allegedly earning about $700,000 a year and drawing roughly 30 male customers daily.

3. Earthquakes back in form entering clash with sluggish LAFC (statenews.net) — San Jose Earthquakes are hosting LAFC in Santa Clara at Levi’s Stadium this Saturday, drawing one of MLS’s biggest crowds of the season.

How the nation's 2 oddest job markets create California traffic jams (mercurynews.com) — If you live or work in Santa Clara County, this column explains why your commute can feel endless: the San Jose metro imports far more workers than it has residents, creating intense traffic pressure.
