Here's a handful of things to keep in mind for today.
- Wondering about traffic? Check your commute before work!
- A Patch reader is seeking witnesses who might have seen a July 17 accident on PCH that took place south of Morning View at 4:55 p.m. The cars involved were an LA County Sheriff's patrol car and a dark grey 2002 Yukon. See this Patch boards post for further details.
- A Midsummers Night's Dream continues up in the hills at Theatricum Botanicum, 1419 N. Topanga Canyon Blvd. Tonight's show is at 8 p.m. See the theater's website for ticket options.
