The Queen Mary has lost her most devoted lifelong fan. Rest in peace, our dear dear friend. 💕

Nobody embodied the Queen Mary quite like Everette Hoard, who was a near-constant presence on the ship since 1982.

Rest in peace. 🙏🏼

The vivacious MacManus became Cielito Lindo’s co-manager and public face. Blessed with a palate that could catch even the slightest tweak, she made sure that the restaurant’s hallmark meal, beef taquitos, always came out crunchy yet supple.

💔 We are deeply saddened by the news of Cole's closing after 117 incredible years in Los Angeles. Their legacy has been a cherished part of our culinary rivalry, and we'll dearly miss the playful comparisons and camaraderie shared over the years.

Recently, some misinformation has circulated suggesting we are also closing—this is not true! Rest assured, our doors remain wide open for all our loyal fans and French Dip enthusiasts.

We’ve always been strong supporters of the Showers of Hope program and the incredible resources they provide, and right now they need our help more than ever. Please consider lending your support and sharing this with others. Thanks, peeps. 🙏🏼💕

“This is a petition asking Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and the LA City Council to reinstate funding to Save the CARE Mobile Shower and Bathroom Program for our Unhoused Angelenos.

The New City of LA budget was passed last week without funding for LA Sanitation's CARE Mobile Hygiene Program which is operated by The Shower of Hope. Last year, The Shower of Hope served 37,407 Showers and Bathroom services using 8 mobile hygiene trailers but due to this budget cut, starting July 1st, 2025, these trailers will be sitting in a parking lot and Thousands of our Unhoused Angelenos will lose access to Showers and Bathrooms.

Homelessness today is different. There are many Working Angelenos who are homeless who come and take a shower from our trailers and go to work. There are many who take a shower to be able to be presentable for an interview. For these Angelenos, this is a literal denial from an interview and for those currently working, the likelihood of being let go.
The highest rising demographic within homelessness are Seniors. Also in this population are a majority who are suffering from Diabetes, High Blood pressure and other illnesses due to our broken healthcare system living with compromised immune systems.”
