Today's riddle: What do you call somebody who crosses the ocean twice and doesn't take a bath? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Athens to Remove West Hollywood Gate Codes While Denying Responsibility (wehoonline.com) — West Hollywood residents are being urged to remove visible gate codes and change compromised access codes as the city warns that markings on buildings and trash containers pose a security risk. After months of complaints from resident Edd Holman, Athens Services still denies its drivers wrote the codes but now says workers will start painting them over, while city officials consider broader outreach and possible next steps.
2. Keegan Allen Reveals Gruesome Robbery Aftermath With Photo Of Stitched Head (clichemag.com) — A violent armed robbery outside a luxury grocery store in West Hollywood left actor Keegan Allen injured and has prompted the local sheriff's station to increase patrols, including in the Rainbow District. Officials are using technology and added deputies to respond to recent incidents, while Allen's posts have intensified debate over safety and surveillance cameras in the city.
3. West Hollywood Sheriff Station Issues Community Update On Violent Crime (canyon-news.com) — Violent and high-volume crimes in West Hollywood have dropped so far this year, with robberies down about 21% through August, but two recent armed robberies have prompted concern. In response, the West Hollywood Sheriff Station plans to increase patrols citywide, especially in the Rainbow District, and says it is working with Major Crimes to identify suspects and reassure residents.
4. Have You Seen This? Coyotes make the noisiest neighbors (ksl.com) — Neighbors near an abandoned construction site in West Hollywood are dealing with an unusually loud pack of coyotes that has moved into the fenced-off lot. A viral video shot in late July shows the animals roaming in broad daylight, highlighting how urban wildlife is adapting to unused spaces around the city and creating new challenges for nearby residents.
5. Meet the 'transit baddies' on a mission to make LA Metro cool again (commstrader.com) — A group of young "transit baddies" is using TikTok to show how buses and trains can connect neighborhoods like West Hollywood, Santa Monica, Downtown, and Koreatown without the stress of driving. One influencer now rides Metro from her West Hollywood home across Los Angeles, arguing that mixed use of transit and cars can save money, time, and parking headaches while still requiring common-sense safety precautions.
