Just like in a recent episode of Weeds, deep within public lands are some major areas prime for cultivating marijuana. Yesterday, local and federal officials eradicated two sites, one in a state park and another on National Park land. Likely to be worth close to $10 million on the street, 2,088 marijuana plants were found in Malibu Creek State Park and another 1421 in Zuma Canyon.

Los Angeles Times reporter Francisco Vara-Orta was quick to jump on the case of an alleged sighting of a mountain lion in the Eagle Rock vicinity on the morning of May 2nd 2008. Local police had received calls just before 9:00 am pertaining to a mysterious large cat prowling the backyard of a house on the 5000 block of College View Avenue. Usually in these kind of cases, when authorities turn up there is no sign of the suspected animal, but on this occasion several officers caught a glimpse of the elusive felid which was seen fleeing close to 2479 Niagara Way.
