Palisades Village Rises Again — Plus the Beloved Café LA Is Losing After 28 Years"

Hour 2 (8.4) Seven months of ash, and now a ribbon cutting. ✂️Palisades Village is coming back. Rick Caruso's $100 million interior rebuild — plus environmental cleanup and a full renovation after the January 2025 Palisades Fire — wraps with an official reopening Saturday, August 15. Seventy percent of the businesses are returning, restaurants included. For a neighborhood that lost so much, this one actually feels like a milestone. 🏗️Then the other side of the coin: Marmalade Café at Calabasas Commons is closing after 28 years. Twenty-eight. If you had a birthday brunch, a first date, or a Sunday standing order there, this one stings. 🍋Over to Michigan, where four states held primaries and one race is pulling the whole Democratic Party apart in public. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, progressive former public health official, versus Rep. Haley Stevens, the centrist with party leadership behind her — bitter, expensive, and locked in a dead heat as votes are tallied. The winner defends retiring Sen. Gary Peters' seat in a battleground state that could decide control of the Senate. We break down why a Michigan primary matters everywhere. 🗳️Plus, LA Councilwoman Ysabel Jurado unveils a legislative package aimed at helping Boyle Heights recover from the Lineage warehouse fire.Rebuilds, goodbyes, and a race too close to call.
