For the fourth year in a row, Care Harbor opened today at the LA Sports Arena. From now until Sunday, it will offer free medical treatments to almost 5000 people who are poor and uninsured.

It’s now legal to sell “home made” food in California. Listen below:
Caitlin Shamberg is the Which Way LA blog editor, and also, a producer for KCRW's "To the Point" and "Which Way, L.A.?" Before joining KCRW - her hometown radio station - she lived in Brooklyn and braved eight years of brutal New York winter. She's psyched to be back in LA, where she lives with her husband and toddler, and without her ankle length down coat.

I want to personally thank all of the doctors, nurses and medical staff
for providing the much needed care for our community. Thank you for taking time out of your extremely busy schedule, for giving of your
valuable services to the needy and for your compassion on the less
fortunate. I believe no person should go with out the basic health
care, dental and optical needs being met but I don't believe that anyone should use your money to pay for someone else's abortion or birth control.
