SEASON šŸš‡ļø DODGER STADIUM EXPRESS

  • Dodger fans can ride stress-free with the Dodger Stadium Express, offering direct service from Union Station and the South Bay this season. Union Station riders will board at a new locationā€”Union Station West, near Fred Harveyā€”while South Bay riders can hop on at multiple transit stations. Buses start running 2.5 hours before game time, with return service ending 45 minutes after the final out. Free and paid parking options are available. Plan your trip via Metroā€™s website or transit apps.

SANTA MONICA šŸŽ” BEST PLACES TO LIVE IN U.S.

  • Santa Monicaā€™s City Center made a dramatic leap to No. 5 on Nicheā€™s 2025 ranking of the best places to live, rising 399 spots from last year. The ranking, based on data from the Education Department, U.S. Census Bureau, and FBI, evaluates factors like housing, public schools, and diversity. City Center, home to the Third Street Promenade and oceanfront Din Tai Fung, scored high for nightlife and outdoor access but remains costly, with a median rent of $2,719. The surge in ranking is attributed to improved affordability, as the areaā€™s rent-to-income ratio has become more reasonable. Irvine also made the top five in the best U.S. cities list, ranking just behind Naperville, Illinois.

WEST HOLLYWOOD šŸ«§ CLEAN-UP SERIES

  • West Hollywood is hosting a series of Community Clean-Up events this spring, inviting residents, businesses, and volunteers to help beautify the city while connecting with neighbors and local officials. The clean-ups will take place on April 12th (Eastside, Plummer Park), April 26th (Westside, West Hollywood Park), and May 10th (Mid-City, City Hall), with check-in at 9:00am. Volunteers will receive cleaning supplies, water, and snacks as they tackle litter in public spaces šŸ’Œ 

ACADEMY šŸŽžļø NICHOLL FELLOWSHIP

  • The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is evolving its prestigious Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting by exclusively partnering with global university programs, screenwriting labs, and filmmaker programs to discover new talent. Notable partners include UCLA, AFI, Sundance Institute, and TIFF, with The Black List serving as the public submission portal. Academy members will review all submissions, and selected fellows will receive mentorship, career support, and networking opportunities. Partner submissions open in late July, with winners announced in spring 2026. More details at oscars.org/nicholl šŸ’Œ

DEVELOPMENT

SANTA MONICA šŸ” LINCOLN BLVD

  • A new proposal for Lincoln Blvd. in Downtown Santa Monica outlines plans for an eight-story residential building with ninety apartments, including nine set aside for affordable housing. Developed by Hankey Capital, the project replaces an empty lot with a contemporary design by Ottinger Architects, featuring a white and blue faƧade with cantilevered balconies. Originally part of a twelve-story Builderā€™s Remedy project by WS Communities, the development was scaled down after creditors, including Hankey, took control. The site will also include subterranean parking for 95 vehicles.

This marks the third funding round in six months and will support the production of the FF 91 2.0 and the development of its FX brand, with an anticipated FX vehicle launch by 2025.

Faraday Future is also testing its FX 6 prototypes and expanding its presence in New York, with plans to increase authorized Common Stock by 24% at a March 2025 shareholder meeting to support strategic initiatives.

  • Silver Lake has completed the acquisition of Endeavor $END ( 0.0% ), marking the end of Endeavor's public company status.

Key leadership, including CEO Ari Emanuel and President Mark Shapiro, will continue to lead the company, while Patrick Whitesell will spearhead a new sports and media division.

DODGERS šŸ§¢ SEASON PREVIEW

  • The Dodgers remain the team to beat in the NL West, reinforcing their championship roster with Blake Snell, Roki Sasaki, and bullpen upgrades. While Arizona added Cy Young winner Corbin Burnes and the Giants landed power-hitting shortstop Willy Adames, neither may have enough firepower to challenge L.A.'s superstar trio of Ohtani, Betts, and Freeman. The Padres, despite ownership turmoil, still have Tatis Jr. and Machado but largely stood pat this offseason. Meanwhile, the Rockies continue to struggle. With talent and depth across the board, the Dodgers are set for another deep October runā€”if they stay healthy.

USC šŸ€ JUJU WATKINS

  • A single moment in USCā€™s game against Mississippi State sent shockwaves through the Galen Center. Star player JuJu Watkins, dribbling downcourt during a fast break, collapsed after her knee seemingly gave out. The crowd fell silent as Watkins, in tears, was helped off the court, later confirmed to have torn her ACL. With their star player out for the season, USC rallied to a dominant 96-59 win, but the loss of Watkins fundamentally shifts the teamā€™s NCAA title chances. The Trojans now face the challenge of continuing their tournament run without their national Player of the Year contender.
