Safe from Harm
Some good news to report from the L.A. inferno, courtesy the L.A. Times: several California landmarks were spared from the wrath of last week's mega fires.

As the paper reports, that includes Lake Arrowhead tourist destinations such as the setting for such films as the 1937 Shirley Temple movie "Heidi." (Tourist destinations such as the setting for such films as the 1937 Shirley Temple movie "Heidi"? Yeah, I don't get it either, but it's just nice to hear that some things didn't end up as toast.)

Also in the Times:

Cold, hard facts that the so-called housing bubble isn't about to burst: Sez the paper, "There Isn't One. There's Just Too Much Demand, Not Enough Supply and No Room to Build. None of That Will Change."

Bastards.

Over in Daily News land, meanwhile, the paper pounds a dead horse: Valley secession, which a year later isn't on anyone's mind... but that doesn't mean the paper hasn't found a way to report that communities like Chatsworth still want a divorce from L.A.
