📰 News we're reading

1. WeHo's Greasy Sidewalks Sunday Special (wehoonline.com) — City crews in West Hollywood rushed out Sunday morning to clean dangerously greasy sidewalks outside the BlockParty store after illegal late-night hot dog carts left raw meat and slick residue along the curb. Public Works Director Helen Collins’ team used bio-remediation powder to make the area safe, while ongoing council debate continues over how to handle unpermitted street vendors on busy weekends and major events.
   

2. Tree Recycling Underway In West Hollywood (canyon-news.com) — West Hollywood residents need to adjust trash plans: there’s no Athens Services pickup on New Year’s Day, so collection shifts one day later, and holiday tree recycling runs through January 10, 2026. The city outlines how to prepare trees, recycle packaging, and arrange free bulky-item or e-waste pickups through Athens or local drop-off centers.
   

3. Police Search For Beige Sedan After LA LGBT Center Shooting Report (wehoonline.com) — Police are investigating a reported late-night shooting near the Los Angeles LGBT Center’s Hollywood campus, just east of West Hollywood along Santa Monica Boulevard, and are searching for a beige sedan tied to the incident. Details remain limited, but authorities have released a suspect description and are asking anyone with security or dashcam footage from the area Sunday night to contact LAPD’s Hollywood Station.
   

4. 'Return of the Living Dead' Remake Delayed Until November 2026; Footage Screened! (dreadcentral.com) — A horror-film sneak peek recently brought industry guests to The London Hotel in West Hollywood, where producers screened a 13‑minute preview of the new Return of the Living Dead installment. The movie’s release has been pushed to November 2026 as filming wrapped late this year, but early viewers described the gory footage and new take on Tarman as crowd‑pleasing.
