  1. Images of the Homeless at New London's Gallery at Firehouse Square

    Homelessness is one of those situations that we don't really fully understand until it happens to us or someone we know. The new exhibit at the Gallery at Firehouse Square aims to bring awareness to the issue and help the homeless in the New London area. <em>Right Next Door: Images of the Homeless and Those Who Help Them </em>is a display of Alex Matthiessen's photos and Elisabeth McGinn's oil paintings of homeless people they've documented over the years. The two women met as volunteers at a soup kitchen, and in the giving spirit, the gallery is also collection donations of canned food, clothing, hygiene and feminine products, underwear and socks. In addition to the physical donations, the entirety of the proceeds from the works &ndash; all of which are for sale &ndash; will go to the Homeless Hospitality Center of New London and St. Vincent de Paul Place in Norwich. While the exhibit itself opened for view on March 10, the opening reception happens this Saturday, March 16, from 2-6 p.m., where you can meet the artists, view a video documentary produced by students at East Lyme High School, and participate in a silent auction. <strong><em></em></strong>

  2. City clears homeless camp, residents in temporary housing

    Tracy Jones pounded a pair of sneakers against the wall of an Interstate 83 ramp, shaking off months of caked-on dirt.

  9. Bill Rosendahl, happy warrior

    Robert Kennedy was a young Bill Rosendahl's hope for the White House, but Kennedy's rival, Hubert Humphrey, practiced the &quot;happy warrior" style of politics that represents the principles Rosendahl has embraced. As he leaves the Los Angeles City Council after two terms, his eight years in office (and a diagnosis of cancer, now in remission) have not extinguished Rosendahl's cheerfulness, but they have given his warrior side an instruction booklet.

  12. Mike Bonin in Council District 11

    Los Angeles City Council District 11 begins at the bluffs of Pacific Palisades and crosses the coral tree-lined median of San Vicente Boulevard. It includes Westchester bungalows in the shadow of jets rumbling into LAX, and the homeless in Venice who bed down blocks away from expensive single-family houses.
