I am a Santa Monica resident who lives near the Brentwood Urgent Care center, which is on 26th Street just north of Wilshire (1156 26th). In recent weeks, Brentwood Urgent Care has started offering COVID-19 testing. Testing is important, but a large number of people waiting for their tests, some of whom are surely COVID positive, congregate outside the Center, blocking the sidewalk. Even if they lined up neatly, the sidewalk is less than 6 feet wide in that location, which makes it impossible...
Today the Second District Court of Appeal issued a ruling in favor of the City of Santa Monica in the California Voting Rights Act case brought by the Pico Neighborhood Association. The plaintiff had argued that the city's at-large system of voting for city council members disenfranchised voters from a protected minority group because their votes became 'diluted' by the majority of voters. The city maintained that Latino voters had not been unduly affected by the city's at-large system and...

Startling residents, the City of Santa Monica issued no new COVID-19 emergency orders for an entire week. "We were concerned when Tuesday went by, and we didn't get a new alert in our text messages," said Wanda B. Goode, a homeowner north of Montana. "We want to do everything we can, after all, to save lives. Nowadays that seems to involve either taking off or putting on masks. We're not sure which cycle we're on this week if the city won't tell us." "And then Wednesday came and went, but...
According to a study from the University of California San Diego, a one year-old dog is more like a 30 year-old human. That's because new genetic evidence shows puppies and younger dogs age at a faster pace. Then, as dogs age, the process slows down, so researchers found that a 12 year-old Labrador is similar to a 70-year old human. Dogs live an average of 12 years. Life expectancy in humans is about 5 times that. That means you've probably been estimating your dog's human age equivalent...
