  • Culver City Fire Department Warns About Fake Inspectors

    Dec 2, 2021

    The Culver City Fire Department is warning local businesses about fake fire inspectors.

CCFD said the fake inspectors oft...

Baker, who was Assistant City Attorney at the time, will take over as City Attorney on December 22. The office provides legal guidance, support and representation for all Culver City officials and staff on matters of...

  • More Housing Needed in Culver City

    Dec 2, 2021

    Have you ever wondered why our rush hour traffic seems backwards? Morning rush hour is heaviest leaving Downtown LA and afternoon rush hour is heaviest going towards Downtown LA. This is very counterintuitive and very confusing for people from out of town. But it makes total sense for LA because there are so many more jobs than housing units on the Westside of Los Angeles, which means people going to work travel East to West and people going home travel West to East. This traffic does not stop at the borders of Culver City – it is why there i...

    Bill Seals, Sports Reporter|Dec 2, 2021

    In a cold, late November matchup of two rivals, the UCLA Bruins easily defeated the California Golden Bears, 42-14, behind the passing and running of star quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson and a tough, determined defense. Thompson-Robinson, in perhaps his final game at the Rose Bowl, completed 19 of 28 passes for 164 yards and three touchdowns, while adding 102 yards rushing. The Cal Bears offense, which exploded for 41 points and 636 yards in their trouncing of Stanford two weeks ago, was...

  • Win over Cal highlights UCLA's growth

    Eric Lambkins II, Sports Reporter|Dec 2, 2021

    A young Bruin football fan turned to his friend in the elevator and asked, "Which bowl game do you think we are going to get? Can you believe it, we are going bowling!!!" Watching something grow is a lot like watching paint dry. The process, wrought with frustration, can drive anyone mad. However, there is nothing more rewarding than watching a fledgling develop into something vibrant and dynamic. Growth is a sign of life and vitality. After their first bowl-eligible season under Chip Kelly,...

  • Rams face Jacksonville after three straight losses

    Fred Altieri, Sports Reporter|Dec 2, 2021

    Three consecutive losses and counting. The mid-season tailspin continues for the Los Angeles Rams as the Green Bay Packers capitalized on three turnovers to win comfortably, 36-28, last Sunday on a late, cold afternoon at Lambeau field. The losing streak has put a serious dent into the Rams hopes of having any homefield advantage when the NFL Playoffs begin in January. And for the first time all season, doubts are being raised about the team even making the Playoffs. The Rams (7-4) will get...
