We'll never ungrip a talon, and then the other, and then proceed to spread our massive wings as we soar toward the clouds, owing to the fact that we are distinctly wingless and, quite sadly, 100% talon-free.

CALIFORNIA IS CLUTTERED, in the best sense, with natural wonders that are tantalizingly remote, those not-so-easy-to-reach cliffsides and waterfalls and meadows that look much like they did hundreds of years ago.

Burgers, by their very circular nature, seem to be something that could rotate, if you put enough spin on the bun.

Cars and Culture of the '80s and '90s" and the place? Why the Petersen Automotive Museum, of course.

A civil rights group is demanding a full investigation after reports that as many as 200 immigrants are being detained in downtown Los Angeles. Several witnesses told our sister station Telemundo 52 that their family members are being held without any explanation. These were people who were going to routine, scheduled immigration appointments and never left the building. "She hasn't eaten, it's cold and she is in a room with 30 other women," Daniela Ortiz said about her mother being detained.
