Hermosa Beach considering change in parking meter start time The City of Hermosa Beach will consider a plan to change the start times of parking meters by two hours next month. The start time to pay to park is 10 a.m. but under the new plan, drivers would have to start paying at 8 a.m. Some surfers against the motion say that they will most likely end up finding parking on residential streets.  Secure parking lot for unhoused people coming to Los Angeles County City officials believe that starting the parking meter pay time two hours earlier will help free up parking spaces in the small 1.4 square mile city where parking is always a challenge. The city is expected to make $1.8 million from a parking rate increase approved earlier this year. The City Council will vote on the issue on May 9.

Review: Kane Brown is on top of the country world and pop could be next Kane Brown might end up being the next Taylor Swift.No, that’s not so much a prediction that he’ll someday sell out multiple nights at mammoth football stadiums like Tay-Tay. Although, Brown is headlining this Saturday at Southern California’s giant Stagecoach Festival, so football stadiums could be right around the corner for this rapidly rising star.The more pertinent point to this comparison is that Brown could become the next major pop crossover artist to hail from the country music realm.And, really, he shouldn’t have to change much of his game to accomplish that feat.During his highly anticipated concert at the SAP Center in San Jose on Thursday (April 27), Brown showcased numerous reasons why he’s such an appealing crossover candidate, as the vocalist thrilled the crowd with ample amounts of star power, stage presence and pure talent during the course of 19 songs.
