I found this one on The Huffington Post‘s local section for Los Angeles. The content originally appeared as a report in the Los Angeles Times .

FMC: The Oneders Propel Calipari to His First Title
He’s one of the most divisive men in sports.

Burger King Supplanted as No. 2 in Burgerland
If you mention the words “hamburger” or “burger joint” to a group of people in Los Angeles, you’re going to start an argument.

Buzztime “The Season”: Trivia Night and You’re Under Center
Since I was a middle-school student in Chicago, I had an unhealthy obsession with trivia. Box scores, football and baseball almanacs … and Alex Trebek were part of my daily existence.
