Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:02:12 GMT

Pride 2023 is here, and while LA Pride and Christopher Street West left West Hollywood last year (after the pandemic forced cancellations and majorly downsized events in 2020 and 2021), West Hollywood has by no means laid low. How could they?The City of West Hollywood remains the epicenter for gay nightlife and small businesses, and it’s still the most active and high profile neighborhood we have in terms of LGBTQ+ issues and political freedoms in general– from drag to cannabis.

Merging is not an ‘on-the-spot’ negotiation: Roadshow

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:02:12 GMT

Q: The column about merging reminded me that merging into highway traffic has been a point of frustration for me since I got to California 40-plus years ago.Ohio signage is clearer that ongoing traffic has the right of way in a merge situation. Incoming traffic is given a road sign that says “yield.” Not everyone here understands who has the right of way, and I have seen plenty of occasions when the yielder thought it was an on-the-spot negotiation. The lack of signs only reinforces that.As long as I am writing, I might as well mention another pet peeve: I think the DMV written/computer test you take when renewing a license should be on questions that show you know the most important things to be a safe driver, such as who has the right of way when two lanes merge. Instead, the last two times I took the test, I answered questions about axles (I am a little vague on what these are anyway, but my driving is not impaired by my axle knowledge) and what the fine is for throwing an animal...
