This time around, we end up in an often-overlooked South Bay city, Gardena. With its sizable population of Asian, Black, and Latino residents, the cultures meld together to represent something distinctively Southern Californian, and yet all its own.Yes, this restaurant is in a bowling alley. Upon entering the building, just to your left is the Gardena Bowl Coffee Shop entrance.
The visual style of the place screams neighborhood institution, judging from the crowds of middle schoolers who spill out onto the sidewalk, stopping by for a quick bite on the way home along with construction workers, who line up in their safety vests and t-shirts.Teriyaki is the name of the game here. As soon as you get out of your car, the smell of the sweet, charred meat wafts in the air, letting you know you are in the right place.
After 10 minutes of expert turning in the pan, the fritters are cooked to a crisped perfection.

George Tyndall, the ex-gynecologist accused of sexually abusing patients on campus, was found dead today at his L.A. home.The City Council Ad Hoc Committee on Governance Reform took public comment on a proposal to establish an independent redistricting commission at a hearing on Oct. 5, 2023.An independent commission was one of the reforms demanded by activists after the release of secretly recorded audio tapes a year ago that included council members discussing ways to preserve their own power.
Under the independent redistricting commission proposal, a 16-member panel selected through a process overseen by the city Ethics Commission would be responsible for redrawing district boundaries every 10 years. The process calls for selecting eight members who represent the geographic diversity of the city.
This is often a politically thorny process, since the demographics and assets of any given district — whether it’s made up of renters or homeowners, or it has an airport or a major stadium — determine how much power that district and its representative have relative to others, and how voting power is distributed across different groups.

He was shot while parked at a red light in a marked police vehicle near the Palmdale sheriff’s station.
Luna underscored the service of the Clinkunbroomer family, which served law enforcement in some capacity for the last 86 years.

He was expected to stand trial for charges related to 16 former patients next year. Tyndall pleaded not guilty to 18 counts of sexual penetration of an unconscious person and nine counts of sexual battery by fraud. Levine had said Tyndall denied any wrongdoing. “Dianne commanded respect and she gave respect,” Harris said. “She was a serious and gracious person who welcomed debate and discussion, but always required that it would be well informed and studied. And I believe that this city where she started had a lot to do with that.”
Breed recounted an old memory of playing French horn in a junior high school band in San Francisco, which was nicknamed the “Dianne Feinstein Band.” SheFeinstein inspired a generation of women, including Breed. In a recorded message played across the City Hall lawn, President Joe Biden noted Feinstein’s work on the assault weapons ban, her environmental stewardship, and her leadership for women.
Feinstein also loved San Francisco, she said. Feinstein was such a “commanding” mayor for “ten powerful years,” that when her term was up and men began to run for mayor, Pelosi recalled schoolchildren saying, “can a man be mayor of San Francisco?” For her entire life, Mariano said she enjoyed an “effortless connection” with her grandmother.
