2. SoFi Stadium in Inglewood was filled with cheering fans for Paul McCartney's Got Back tour on Friday, May 13. The show opened with the Beatles' song "Can't Buy Me Love," bringing the cheering crowd to their feet to sing along. Fans were thrilled to hear songs filled with messages of hope, like The Beatles’ “Getting Better” and “We Can Work It Out,” and to see almost 80-year-old McCartney perform his magic live on stage.

3. Did you know spending just 20 minutes in a park can boost your overall well-being? And it's good for your mental health, said O.C. Parks in an Instagram post. May is #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, and this month, O.C. Parks will be presenting tips about "how to relax and unwind while visiting the parks" at George Key Ranch Historic Park in Placentia.

4. Laguna Niguel residents were relieved that containment of the 200-acre Coastal fire increased to 60% by Saturday evening. Drones with thermal imaging helped identify hot spots "to prevent portions of the fire from igniting again," authorities said. Most of the 900 Laguna Niguel residents evacuated during the fast-moving blaze were allowed to return home, but 71 homes were still on evacuation orders as of Saturday. The Red Cross is proving shelter for residents who lost their homes. (Facebook)
