• California Wine Lawsuit Update: The State Moves to Dismiss (irishliquorlawyer.com) — A Signal Hill wine shop, The Wine Country, is at the center of a constitutional challenge to how California lets in-state versus out-of-state wineries sell directly to retailers. The lawsuit, now facing a state motion to dismiss, could reshape which wines local retailers can stock and how easily small out-of-state producers reach Signal Hill shelves. 
• 43rd annual Long Beach Pride Parade and Festival returns this weekend (presstelegram.com) — Signal Hill residents will see their own mayor, Keir Jones, honored as a grand marshal in this weekend’s Long Beach Pride Parade, part of a three-day festival starting Friday, May 15.
