Heartbreaking. 17k people lost their jobs today. Hearing this pilot speak reminds us all @SpiritAirlines is more than just a business, it’s the people who work there and called it home. ❤️

Bob's Big Boy was once synonymous with burgers and family dining, but time has taken a "bite" out of the decor at America's oldest Big Boy restaurant. Now one artist is working to give him a fresh new look.

I just read this article by @kbaxter11 ! Phenomenal read about the last to finish in the Olympics this year. Last event, last runner… but still a winner. So heart warming!

Everyone makes fun of me because I write all my scripts in the “notes” app on my iPhone. Co workers secretly laugh as I type everything with my right thumb and left forefinger. Hmmm… my workflow has been undisturbed. #justsaying 😈😈

Thousands of wild parrots have traded the tropics for Los Angeles’ asphalt jungle. Now researchers with the "Free Flying Parrot Project" are studying how the birds are feasting and breeding their way back from the brink of extinction.

I’m so sad to hear about this! Sam was a talented broadcaster. I got to know him through his work @sagaftra . He was elected to represent all broadcasters on the Los Angeles Board. My heart goes out to his loved ones and TV family at @KTLA ❤️
KTLA 5 is profoundly saddened to report the death of Sam Rubin. Sam was a giant in the local news industry and the entertainment world, and a fixture of Los Angeles morning television for decades. His laugh, charm and caring personality touched all who knew him. Sam was a loving husband and father: the roles he cherished the most. Our thoughts are with Sam’s family during this difficult time.

It DOES rain in Southern California. And although we like to make fun of our 51 miles of concrete, that is the #LARiver , during storms like these are exactly when we see its value!
