• Disturbia

  A man using crutches but holding a gun still failed at carjacking. A motorist threw hot coffee on a bicyclist. Before he lost his wig and shoes, a man tried to steal a Nintendo game from a Laguna Beach hotel room. A man sitting in a restaurant issued death threats. A burglar stole only syringes from a business. Someone threw a brick through a window and struck a man in the head. A store employee choked a customer. A man used a flashlight to provoke a neighbor's dog into a frenzy. Three men broke

• Haunted OC Hotspots

  In honor of Halloween the OC Weekly has compiled a list of haunted Orange County locations courtesy the database of haunted places on Shadowlands.net. So take some time and have a read. Even if you don't believe in ghosts, at least you can learn about some local legends and scare yourself silly! Mwahahaha! Anaheim Anaheim Fairfield Inn by the Marriott - This motel is right next to a freeway and is said to be haunted by a couple that died in a car accident. Anaheim High School - A WWII bomb

• Friday at Taste of Newport, Fashion Island

  Usually when I decide to spend like a baller for a nice dinner (about twice a year), Newport Beach is the first place I think of. Luckily, the 20th Annual Taste of Newport rolled into town, bringing an onslaught of appetizers and entrees to sink my teeth into. By the time I had scarfed and sipped my way around the place, I counted about 30 restaurants in all. In an attempt to start the night on a light note, one of the first pasta samples that caught my eye was a catering company called Alacart

• Mackerel Flats' Folks Leaning Toward Obama? Who Knew?

  Around 11 this morning, KPCC 89.3 FM's AirTalk show presented a call-in segment called "I Didn't Know My Neighbor Was Voting For (Fill In The Blank)!" Host Larry Mantle wanted to know whether anyone's neighbors put political signs on their front lawns that surprised the listener. First caller Garrett of Newport Beach said he is seeing a lot more Obama for President signs in front of houses in his neighborhood (including his own) than he would have expected in the heart of conservative Orange C

• A Very Zimmerman Christmas

  Southern California's got a few neighborhoods known for their festive (or overkill, whatever you want) holiday displays, where entire blocks of houses do their very best to outdo and outlight each other: There's Candy Cane Lane in Torrance, Brea's got one off the Lambert exit of the 57, the Naples Canals in Long Beach. But people often forget about Balboa Island's annual holiday lights contest. A brief drive around the residences on the island reveal Rockwell picturesque Christmas decor, co

• A Pedo-Apolgist's Best Pal: OC Supervisor Bill Campbell

  So it turns out icky Monsignor Lawrence Baird won't give the invocation at the Orange County Board of Supervisors meeting today after all as originally planned; Baird now says he has to give Mass at St. John Vianney Chapel on Balboa Island at 9:30 a.m., and isn't that as bullshit an excuse as you'll ever hear, especially given that Mass at the picturesque chapel is said on weekdays at 7:45 a.m.? Whatever; let Larry the Louse sink back into his depraved multimillion-dollar Balboa home. Besides, t
