Wednesday March 18, 2026

In this episode, we explore Los Angeles' ambitious $78 million initiative to revamp parks and open spaces across the city. Funded by LA County's Measure A, this project aims to enhance recreational areas, particularly in neighborhoods with high park needs, making Los Angeles greener and healthier for future generations. Norma E. Garcia-Gonzalez, director of LA County's Department of Parks and Recreation, highlights the significance of this historic investment.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Kings gear up to host the Philadelphia Flyers, despite injuries plaguing their forward lineup.

On the weather front, expect patchy fog in the morning, clearing to partly sunny skies with a high of 75 degrees. The surf at Venice Beach offers clean waves early, becoming choppy by midday.
