1:25 AM PST on February 20, 2019

[dropcap size=big]T[/dropcap]his week, we went to Koreatown to try the mole fries at Macheen's latest pop-up. We also went to talk to homeless Angelenos facing rain and city sweeps. And we sat down with Jared Cowan to discuss the many L.A. filming locations of the iconic bank-heist thriller 'Heat.'

This episode was edited and directed by Erick Galindo. It was produced by Brian Feinzimer, Mariah Castañeda, Cesar Hernandez, and Daniel Hernandez. Special thanks to the Boyle Heights Arts Conservatory in Boyle Heights.

LAPD Officers Watched a Nearly $1 Million Metro Bus Get Lit On Fire. Why Didn’t They Do Something?

On social media, people were quick to criticize fans that participated in the celebrations. But few people questioned why the LAPD, a public agency with an annual budget of over $3 billion, stood around and waited until the bus was on fire before they did something.

A ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ Star Looks Back On Filming at Evergreen Cemetery in Boyle Heights After 40 Years

“I remember driving early in the morning, in the dark, to get to the cemetery,” says Heather Langenkamp, who played Nancy. “I remember thinking to myself, 'I’ve never been over here, but I’ve heard that there’s really great tacos over here on Soto. Robert Englund was such a foodie. He probably told me that the best food in town was over there.”
