Long before the development of Los Angeles, Southern California was known for its grasslands, estuaries and oak-covered foothills.
The original people of Los Angeles, the Tongva, defined it as their "world" or "Tovaangar." latimes.com/projects/la-me…
Over decades, Tovaangar disappeared and the Tongva language lived in notebooks and papers collected by museums.

Questions were raised over the weekend, when a Newport Beach Republican official posted a photo of himself next to a metal delivery box marked “official ballot drop off box.” The container was not, however, provided or overseen by elections officials. latimes.com/california/sto…
