Here at LALtoday, we’re all about getting out in our community and seeing all that our city has to offer — but we also love our alone time. Whether you prefer quieter social events, feel drained by excess socialization, or just need a push to get out there, we’re here to help with a guide to local organizations and events well suited for the introverts in our Swan City flock. Book clubs are on the rise, but you don’t have to be chatty to get in on the fun.

If you’re feeling blue (in the best way) ahead of Opening Day, here’s the play-by-play before our boys take on the Cleveland Guardians at The K next Thursday, March 27. Feels like an eon since last season, right? After a long-awaited postseason return, the Royals’ offseason was a quiet one—aside from our shortstop’s “Witt-a-burger” wedding.
