The 2019 Los Angeles Chargers statistically had one of the better defenses in the NFL. They also statistically had one of the better passing offenses in the NFL. But too many mistakes throughout the season and not enough plays made on the defensive side spelled doom for the Chargers. After a 31-21 loss on the road to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, the Chargers ended the season 5-11, in last place in the AFC West. It was obvious that throughout the season that the Chargers could not...
The Rams wrapped up their final game ever at historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in a very satisfying way. The 31-24 victory over the Arizona Cardinals was a tribute to the 37 seasons the team played at the iconic stadium but also to the 68,665 faithful who showed up for the curtain closer. The Rams next chapter begins next season in Inglewood when they christen the state-of-the-art SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. "To be able to finish up and have our last game in the Coliseum with a win in front...
1. Baltimore Ravens (13-2): The Ravens have clinched homefield advantage for the AFC playoffs and will rest their key starters in week 17, which includes quarterback Lamar Jackson. Any AFC team in the playoffs should be studying as to how they would slow down quarterback Lamar Jackson, the likely NFL MVP, in case of a matchup with the Ravens. 2. New Orleans Saints (12-3): Amazingly, the Saints could end up 13-3 and be forced to play a first-round game at home against the Minnesota Vikings. The S...

After a mere eight months Vegan Restaurant Doomies Home Cookin’ has shuttered the Culver City location. The Vegan restaurant cited red tape “permit hurdles” at city hall, unforeseen renovations and missed opportunities as reasons behind the closure. The restaurant on the corner of Culver Blvd. and Duquesne Ave. has had bad luck in keeping restaurants long term. On Facebook James Marcus writes tongue in cheek, “That spot has always been a doomed location.” Indeed, a ramen restaurant that occupied the same location closed in a matter of weeks....
I am truly amazed with the Mayor, the Honorable Meghan Sahli-Wells for not speaking more forcibly as it relates to the lack of lady firefighters in our city. Perhaps the fire chief should institute policies (like so many cities and towns in our country) which will increase their stamina. In my opinion Meghan wants her next appointment to be either in Sacramento or in Los Angeles County Government. Sahli-Wells doesn’t realize her present position was made possible in part by ladies before who h...

The one I wish to highlight tonight is that CCPD chose to purchase this...

Dear Editor, Recently I was in touch with our City Maintenance Department. I need to have a tree removed since it is raising my driveway and front porch. I have lived here in town since 1972, and for years the maintenance department would come by every two (2) years and cut the tree roots between the parkway and the sidewalk. That stopped maybe 10 years ago. When I originally contacted the city they told me that they had to stop doing the maintenance due to lay-offs or just not replacing...
