“Cracker Barrel Tanks $100M, DTLA Homeless Crisis Boils Over, and Rose Bowl

Erik Menendez was denied parole at his first-ever hearing—36 years and a day after he and his brother Lyle killed their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez. The board pointed to his prison behavior, past burglaries before the murders, and especially the killing of his mother in their decision. Now, all eyes are on Lyle’s parole outcome. Michael Monks and members of the DTLA Residents Association met with city officials and business leaders to address one of downtown’s toughest challenges: homelessness tied to acute mental illness episodes. Cracker Barrel lost nearly $100 million in market value after unveiling a new logo, sending shockwaves through investors. A man accused of attacking three people at a Rose Bowl concert has been arrested. Crozier shared his own story of recently having to step in during a similar confrontation.
