6 parks across Los Angeles are now equipped with free wifi. People can now connect with tablets, smart phones, and tablets in Cabrillo Beach, Echo Park Lake, Griffith Observatory, Pershing Square, Reseda Park and Venice Beach. This huge step in city communications was made this summer. Globally, internet access is being regarded as more than a commodity but as a necessity. Playing a vital role in social change, worldwide announcements, and social networking, access to wireless internet is gaining more traction as a part of our everyday life. Cities like Santa Fe already have city wide wifi, distributed in timed increments. The wifi’s intention is to draw more families, friends, and patrons to the park. The internet development was funded by Toyota, with LA’s Department of Recreation and Parks & American Park Network. The network named, “Oh, Ranger! Wi-Fi” has been in the testing stages since earlier this summer and is finally up and running. Announcements have been made to launch further wifi expansions in other parts of LA. ...

Hockey and swearing go together like mash potatoes and gravy. But when you’re Mayor Garcetti I guess you can have a side order of an F bomb. It was a great day for the Los Angeles Kings as they were presented the Stanley Cup at the Staples Center after beating the New York Rangers 3 to 2. Now we can say the Mayor is the bad boy of politics. “They say there are two rules in politics,” says Garcetti. “Never, ever be pictured with a drink in your hand and never swear. But this is a big f##king day.” What’s his slogan going be? F##k you, vote for me? New York Mayor Bill De Blasio had a bet with Garcetti. If the New York Rangers lost, De Blasio would have to sing the song “I love L.A.”. If the L.A. Kings lost, Garcetti would have to sing “New York, New York” on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Let’s just say that the Mayor of New York should stick with being the Mayor. Source: laist.com...
