San Diego has surged back from COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns, but a few hundred miles north, San Francisco's downtown is near death, according to recent findings from the Institute of Governmental Studies public policy research center. In a study updated earlier this year titled "The Death of Downtown?" researchers looked at a number of economic health factors for 62 major cities to see which appeared least damaged by nearly three years of economic uncertainty.

Over the last two years, L.A. Weekly has had a front-row seat to the rise of Zalympix. For the uninitiated, the Zalympix is the biggest contest in the world when it comes to recreational boutique pot. The few and far between that can actually hold up with the quality of the streets. It’s hosted by Greenwolf, one of L.A.’s most famous places to buy great pot. L.A. Weekly recently took part in the process to whittle down the 109 entries to 27, for this year’s California edition. We caught up with Greenwolf’s founders Brian and Adam to get their take on the Zalympix rocket now going national with East Coast and Michigan editions currently taking place. We started our chat by asking the pair what it had been like watching their event grow to three time zones since kicking things off in early 2021. “It’s awesome. I mean, it’s really cool. I just feel like down to everyone involved, the cup runneth over with benefits for everyone. And it’s just really cool to see,” Brian...

The best comedians push the boundaries, but she says in recent years some comics’ takes on adult entertainment and female performers hit her the wrong way. So when OnlyFans (the internet subscription service known mostly for paying people for their self-created porn and nudes) approached her about working together she was all for it, plus, “anywhere that Cardi B goes, I go!”She did a show for Showtime a few years back called “Live Nude Comedy,” featuring dancers and comics, and she say...
