Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:43:51 GMT

For the fifth year in a row, Los Angeles has the dubious distinction of being the number one city in the nation when it comes to organized retail theft.The annual report from the National Retail Federation, which surveyed 177 brands, found that the average “shrink rate" climbed from 1.4% in 2021 to 1.6% in the U.S. last year. "Shrink rate" is the industry term for lost inventory.While that might not seem like a significant percentage change, the trade group says it represents an additional $18.2 billion in losses. The San Francisco Bay Area was second for the third straight year. Sacramento was 7th.“Retail crime, violence and theft continue to impact the retail industry at unprecedented levels,” NRF said in its report. “The effects of these criminal acts are not isolated to large national brands or large metropolitan cities. Daily media reports show that no business is immune, and these issues touch retailers of all segments, sizes and locations across the United States.”Video shows...

Welcome to the pleasure dome. Located in the heart of West Hollywood, PleasureMed will open three concepts under one 6,500 square roof today – an elevated design-forward dispensary patterned after a Cuban pharmacy; a California-inspired destination restaurant, Irie, with a comfy consumption lounge; and an al-fresco cocktail bar, Hind. The hedonist complex dubbed the pleasure campus is designed to please all five senses, where the food is as good as the smoke.

Also, I just got lucky. Inspiration just dropped and I wrote the Clarity project which came out last year. It just came out and I felt blessed. But I’m 24/7 music.
