Joshua Heath | My Platform: More Laws for Santa Clarita
“I am so blessed to finally receive my bachelor’s degree from CSUN with honors. It has been four years of hard work and dedication. However, I’m still struggling enormously with male pattern baldness. All the stress from studying clearly had an impact on my hairline. At 22, I should be in the prime of my life, a young lion ready to enter the world. Instead I look like Al Lewis from the Munsters.” -- Santa Clarita Valley Signal

From LA to OC, Asian night markets draw thousands over a common language: Food
Events such as FoodieLand Night Market in Pasadena and San Diego, KTOWN Night Market in Koreatown, the Taste of Japan in Anaheim and Little Saigon’s Asian Garden Night Market in Westminster have exploded in size and popularity and draw big crowds.

This artist aims to prove Valley haters wrong with DIY ‘performative’ tours of the region
Hernandez developed the tour for his junior year exhibition at CalArts. The first tours took place in fall 2019, with friends and friends of friends as passengers. Hernandez was inspired by the catalog from a 2014 exhibition, “Valley Vista,” at Cal State Northridge, as well as the “fearlessness and interactivity” of performance artist Andrea Fraser and the “everyday target audience” of artist David Hammons. Since 2019, he’s led about half a dozen tours in all. Which isn’t a lot, he admits, noting that he took a two-year break during the pandemic. “And it is five hours,” he adds. “Plus, there’s not that much interest in taking a tour of the Valley, given its reputation.” -- Los Angeles Times

After about a year, my two friends, who later became a couple, and I took the entrance exams for grad school, completed long applications, gathered transcripts and analyzed tuition costs.
