LA Link Dump

Let’s stay in LA for the news a bit, shall we?

- If you read this headline quickly enough, it sounds like they’re talking about the greatest NFL franchise ever (bold and caps mine): “Los Angeles Taco Trucks can stay put again.” [LA Times]

- Some guy has crashed his car into the gates of the Playboy Mansion twice in the past two weeks. Make your own jokes in the comments section. [LA Times]

- Hey, LA cops accidentally shoot at innocent people all the time! This time, a cop was aiming for a robbery suspect but hit a Metro bus instead. No wonder they say public transit in LA is horrible. There were no injuries, but one woman is being treated for anxiety. Expect a $200 million lawsuit to be forthcoming. [LA Daily News]

- And speaking of public transit, construction workers in Downtown LA found old trolley car rails buried beneath six inches of asphalt. You see, LA used to be a city you didn’t need a car to get around before an American automobile company bought the public transit system and ran it into the ground to bolster its own sales. That’s not a joke. [blogdowntown]
