11. ** If you haven’t seen Pee-wee as Himself, don’t wait. It’s more than nostalgia – it’s a touching, brilliant tribute to Paul Reubens’ genius. It is a moving portrait of a wildly original soul who made joy an art form in a gray suit and red bowtie. An absolute must-watch. —- Yardley A., Redondo Beach
12. ** A new study reveals nature’s hidden power: relief for chronic low back pain. After nearly 20 years of discomfort, many found healing not in pills but in parks. Green spaces, it turns out, don’t just soothe the mind – they may also help ease long-term physical pain. Nature heals. —- Lawrence G.

15. ** Are we in the era of $35 pasta? —- Claude D., Manhattan Beach
16. ** Prices in California are already outrageous – and now they’re climbing even higher. Sacramento is asleep at the wheel while families are getting crushed. This short video breaks it down.

19. ** Divorce is HELL. Utterly and total hell! —- Jane J.
20. ** New parking downtown MB. I think it is a good addition to the downtown area. There are not nearly enough parking spots downtown, so hopefully, this will bring in customers for the local businesses. —- Madeline H., Manhattan Beach

We deserve better than this. —- Karina D.

25. ** The Southern Poverty Law Center – once an actual civil rights law firm – is now a multi-million-dollar political smear machine. —- D.P.
