Seven thousand six hundred runners smashed records at the Santa Monica Classic, raising over fifty-four thousand dollars for neurological research—proof that charity and competition can run side by side.

Meanwhile, Venice Beach ranked second in a beach review study for dirtiness, crowds, and noise—surprisingly high for such a chaotic spot. A somber note: Bruce Davis, Charles Manson’s “right-hand man,” died in prison at 83. And if you’re sweating through the heat, local libraries are now open as cooling centers until Thursday night.
