1) i like to follow the l.a. county department of health's facility inspection ratings and closures. i'm kind of fascinated that my local 7-11 was closed for cockroach infestation and reopened with a "C" rating while the mom-n-pop grocery across the street consistently has an "A."

to give you some context, a C is pretty bad*. the lowest C score for my zip code was this place:
GUATELINDA NIGHT CLUB
4914 HOLLYWOOD BLVD LOS ANGELES, CA 90027

*although sometimes the more "authentic" asian restaurants will get a C because of their food preparation methods, even though the kitchens are fairly clean
