Good Evening!
It's Wednesday, Nov. 6. Thanks for visiting the Eastsider today. You can expect temps to drop into the mid 50s tonight before rising into 70s on Thursday.
Here are some of the headlines, news and notes that came up during the day:

The proposal by 4th District Councilmember David Ryu (Los Feliz Silver Lake) must still be approved by the City Council.
