so many great things lined up for you. We're gonna
check in on what air travel, ground travel, what everything
is gonna look like over this three day weekend in
(01:38):
the Southland. We're gonna talk about one of the most
famous movie sets in Los Angeles and whether or not
it's been sold, whether or not it should have been sold,
should it even still be standing given its really tormented history.
We're gonna look at a popular burger chain that's shutting
(01:59):
down a bunch of locations. This might be a very
sad story for some of you, so get ready. I'll
definitely trigger warning you on that one. We're going to
talk about this new school year that's been full of
violent threats on campuses off campuses, and we're just three
weeks into the school year. We're also going to talk
about whether or not kids are actually turning in their
(02:22):
cell phones.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Are they I'm a teacher.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I'm going to tell you a little bit about whether
or not they are ding ding ding answer, they're not,
but we'll get into more about the why. We're also
going to get into whether or not you are the
lucky or perhaps unlucky lottery ticket holder, depending on if
you can get that winning ticket in today. It has
to be postmarked by today and I'll tell you where
(02:48):
it has to go, how much it is worth, and
what you stand to win or risk if you do
not go ahead and do that. We're going to talk
about as well different things that are happening around the
Southland events. It is a long three day weekend. I
want to definitely not leave you empty handed as we
are now in the throes of Labor Day weekend. Let's
(03:10):
get into it first again, this is one of the
busiest weekends for travel, one of the busiest weekends, and
usually the three day weekend of Labor Day marks the
end of the summer travel season. The TSA keeps record
of travel in different patterns. It's peaks, it's lolls, and
(03:32):
again Labor Day tends.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
To be kind of this marker for all.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Right, we're ending the summer travel, we're all getting back
to work in school, so everyone kind of take your
last push and get all of your travel plans out well.
This weekend, it is estimated that more than seventeen million
people will be traveling around the country. That's an eight
(03:57):
point five percent increase, a hike, a spike since just
last year. So as we've seen trending upwards since twenty
twenty and all of the closures that happened during the
pandemic and all of the stops to travel, we are
well back into traveling. People are very comfortable. They're getting
on cruises like Twala and Mowen family, They're traveling by plane, train, automobile.
(04:24):
It is a busy, busy weekend. And if you've been
on the roads, as I was commuting here to Burbank
from close to downtown LA, you're probably noticing an uptick
in traffic, and that's just hyper local traffic. Thinking about
outside of your general area. It is a very busy
weekend with many millions of people venturing out.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
You know what else is also up?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
What else is a constant travel companion now.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
For US COVID.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
COVID is right there next to you on that airplane seat,
It's right there with you, you on that train, whatever
it may be, it may very well be in your car,
but COVID numbers are spiking, So we're talking about traveling,
and in correlation with that travel, we're also having to
reckon with this illness fluctuating upward. So let's talk a
(05:18):
little bit about this travel as well. The more popular
places for local travel are San Diego, Anaheim, the Central Coast,
the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas. These are usually by car
or by train or some sort of transportation that's ground
(05:38):
and if you're flying Seattle, So those are the places
that most people are traveling. Are you on the road
right now, listening to KFI on your way up to
Seattle or on your way to Vegas or San Diego?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Are you already there?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Are you noticing that it is more jam packed than normal.
What I've been say seeing as well is that a
lot of people are kind of getting back to those
plans that they may have put on hold.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Last year or the year before. So you also are.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Seeing that inflated cost of travel, So prepare yourself for that.
It is Saturday, and we'll get back to more about
travel when we come back, and I'll tell you just
a little bit more about what to expect if you
are going to try and kind of cram those travel
plans in between now and Tuesday, which is generally the
(06:32):
end if you're stretching it of this long day weekend.
Unlike those of us here in the studio who are
not traveling, we're here and we're here with you. We'll
be here with you until seven. It's KFI AM six
forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app for so Cow Saturday.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
You're listening to soul Cal Saturday with Tawala Sharp on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Just got a big kf I AM six forty Live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. It's soul Cal Saturday. I'm
Tiffany Hobbs sitting in with you from five to seven today.
Four to Wallace Sharp, who's entrusting me over the airwaves
of El Segundo Guardina sil Beach and you kaipa shout
(07:22):
out to all of you guys listening. I feel like
this is very quiet storm. How do I transition from
this to the bad news about travel? Well, we're just
gonna get back into it and wrap this last story
up about Labor Day travel, the peaks, the lolls, and
what you are to expect if you are one of
those people out there traveling, enjoying yourself while the rest
(07:43):
of us.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Are at work.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
If you are out and let's say you traveled by
car to Las Vegas, or you drove down to San
Diego or up to the Central Coast or flu or
whatever you might have done, the worst times to travel
have been released by the TSA. They gather this data
and they're able to package it and share it with
(08:07):
you as I will. Now, if you are traveling back
after this long weekend tomorrow, the worst times to travel
are between eleven am and eight p m. Kind of
sounds like plumbers hours, where they expect you to be
available whenever over the course of a twelve hour span.
(08:28):
With this, the worst times to travel are the entire
day eleven am to eight pm. So if you're driving
back starting tomorrow Sunday, expect to be in traffic. If
you're driving back Monday or dare say, Tuesday, expect to
be in traffic unless you leave super duper early or
(08:49):
you drive very late at night. Should you be driving
into southern California and you want to take a little
pit stop, a little tourist stop, you might find yourself
in front of the Poltergeist House.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Why might you do that?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Well, you might want to take a picture for your
own memory because you're a fan of horror, or you
might have been an interested buyer because the Poltergeist House
has been on the market. However, it was recently sold,
but it was sold for an undisclosed amount. Have you
seen Poltergeist? The nineteen eighty two film produced by Steven Spielberg,
(09:33):
starring a young, dashing Craig T.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Nelson.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Horror classic family tormented by evil spirits. It's a focal
point of the horror genre. But the movies lore continued
after the filming wrapped because there were four cast members
who met their untimely demise during the filming and also
after the filming. Those deaths happen on the property, and
(10:01):
I'll get into some specs about the property in a moment.
They didn't happen on the property, but a lot of
things that were unusual did in fact happen at the
house and on the grounds of this semi valley house.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Let's tell you a little bit about the house. First.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
It's twenty three hundred acres. Excuse me, that'd be huge,
twenty three hundred square feet. It's on a third acre
lot has a backyard pool a spa. That pool, if
you remember from Poltergeist, was a very interesting backdrop for
a scene that many people remember as being very unsettling.
(10:40):
The natural light floods the living room. This is from
the real estate listing. Floods the living room through large windows.
The formal dining room leads to the kitchen. The fireplace
warms the family room. There's a built in office space,
but that can double as a fifth bedroom or a
seance room or exorcist room if you want to go
ahead and do that. There's a primary bedroom upstairs, a
(11:03):
spot inspired bathroom with a large tub, dual sinks. There's
also a walk in closet, which is funny that they
note this, because who doesn't want a walk in closet.
But what they're not sharing with you in the listing
is what happened on the property. Again, no one died
to our knowledge, and if they did, real estate agents.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Would have to bylog disclose that. But there were some very.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Unsettling things, including the rumor that producer Steven Spielberg used
real human skeletons as props during the filming of the movie,
which would have then been on that property, so you
would have real human skeletons as well. There was an
(11:48):
actual exorcism that was held on the property because cast
members and crew felt uncomfortable by some of the things
that were happening by some of the scenes.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Things got a little too real, so to speak.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
And now, after thirty five forty years, this house has
gone on the market forty five years actually of original ownership.
There was one original owner and this owner has finally
sold the house. It was listed originally for a little
over one million, one point one seventy five million, which
(12:27):
seems kind of low when you think about how popular
it is and exorbitant home prices in Los Angeles County.
But it did in fact get listed for just around
that price and sold for an undisclosed amount. But someone
bought it. Someone bought it, and it's extremely bad juju.
(12:50):
I wouldn't stay there. I'm not interested if it became
an Airbnb house, as Airbnb likes to do with these
themed houses. They'll they'll find a property and create a
themed experience for you to rent for a weekend. I
wouldn't want to stay there, and I know there are
lots of properties where people do engage themselves in this
(13:10):
kind of horror aficionado experience that's not for me, let
alone buying an actual property where it exorcism was held.
And I wonder also if real estate agents have to
disclose that someone died or there was some sort of
tragedy that did lead to a death on a property,
(13:31):
whether an apartment or a single family home.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
If real estate agents.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Will also have to disclose whether or not there were
some sort of spiritual experience or exorcism on a property.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
That's something I think.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I would want to know before I would go into escrow.
But that's just me. When we come back, we're going
to talk a little bit about a closure, a big
closure over nine We're closed nine places and I'll tell
you exactly what.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
But it has to do with burgers.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
And if you like burgers like me, any closure is
a devastating blow. We need all the burger places we
can muster in southern California. We'll talk about that when
you come back. KF I Am six ' ford. You'll
shake your head at me, Kayla.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I agree.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
KF I Am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
You're listening to Soul cal Saturday with Tawala Sharp on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
K I AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
It's so Cow Saturday.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
I'm Tiffany Hobbs with you here and Elizabeth Lake Hawthorne,
your Belinda will tomorrow checking in with you, saying with
you until seven o'clock tonight. Let's talk about some really
unfortunate news.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Trigger warning.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
If you are a burger lover like me, you love
your fast food burgers, and you know they're kind of
hard to come by because not every burger is created equally,
then you might be very upset at this next news.
I'll tell you this. It does not involve in and out.
Did you hear that collective?
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Sigh?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
That collective just relief across southern California. No, it doesn't
involve in and out, but it does involve its competitor,
Shake Shack. And what's happening with Shakeshack. Well, Shakeshack is
closing nine underperforming locations, including five of which are right
(15:45):
here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
And you think about.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Closures, there have been a lot in the news lately.
We've been talking on KFI about the hot dog on
a stick at the Redondo Beach Pier. That's closing, that's
expecting to to be done for good as of the
next couple of weeks, So get out there if that's
your thing.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Red Lobster has rejected.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Twenty three lease renewals across Los Angeles or across the country,
with many of them being in Los Angeles, and those
lease renewals renewals actually expired today today, So this is
happening today where these particular restaurants are going to be
shuttered indefinitely and redeveloped into whatever they may become, a Starbucks,
(16:32):
a Target, or whatever it might be. When you think
about Shakeshack nine underperforming locations, including five in Los Angeles,
and why do they say that? Why is this happening? Well,
the company says this is the first time that they've
closed restaurants for purposes that were not related to construction.
(16:55):
So it wasn't because of a lack of space or
space that is necessarily suitable for a restaurant. No, this closure,
this move is a result of quote a periodic evaluation
of its portfolio of company operated units. In short, the
money wasn't coming in fast enough. Why some people surmise
(17:20):
that it's because and this is a very easy finger
to point, This is a very easy scapegoat to have
that this is because of the increase for fast food workers,
the increase in the minimum wage up to twenty plus dollars. No,
that's not quite it. These stores, these locations weren't suffering
because they were paying their workers more. No, that's a
(17:44):
cop out. They were suffering because people just aren't coming
to their restaurants nearly as much as what they thought.
And these locations include Koreatown, Downtown, Cover City, Silver Lake,
Westfield to Panga, and also the Bunker Hill in downtown LA.
So when you think about these locations, these are all
(18:05):
very densely populated, very very wide foot traffic berth if
you may.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
A lot of people are in.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Those areas, but they're not necessarily patronizing these specific restaurants.
And now they're closing. But again, a lot of the
deflection is to say, well, we're closing these stores because
and this isn't coming from the company specifically, but outsiders,
people who again who are hypothesizing, are saying that this
(18:34):
is because of the increase in the minimum wage, when
in fact, right here they're saying, no, it's because of
the company operated units being evaluated periodically and they're not
bringing in enough money. So if you're interested in something
like this, you're thinking of opening some sort of restaurant,
you want to brick and mortar, just know that it
(18:56):
is a very tumultuous time. You'll hear the Fork reporter
talk a lot about brick and mortar restaurants and how
hard it is to maintain these sorts of businesses. Well,
it even affects these larger chain restaurants. And we think
about closures, we also can talk about the La Puente Mall.
(19:17):
The La Puente Mall has been a mainstay in La
Poente for over fifty years. And like Shakeshack, like Red Lobster,
like the Hawthorne Mall or the West Side Pavilion, it too.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Is on the brink of closure. And about a year
ago the.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
La Puente Mall was discussed as a candidate for redevelopment.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
The community came out a lot.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Of people noticed, of course, that that mall was barren,
that it was very infrequently visited.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Stores were closing, and we're.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Seeing this all across the United States. You look at
your own malls in your own area, you'll notice how
many stores are shuttered, how many blank spaces or bear
spaces there are. Well, the community wanted to keep the
mall because not everyone is interested in shopping online. And
there are some rumbling, some reports that are saying that
(20:11):
actual in person shopping is on the increase because of
the fatigue of ordering online and not necessarily always getting
what it is as you're expecting, or having issues with returns,
or people want to be able to feel they want
the tangibility of going to an actual physical store or restaurant.
(20:32):
But this mall, the Lapoente Mall, like others, is on
the brink of closure. And after fifty years of popularity,
including being the backdrop for iconic moments in Back to
the Future where Marty McFly and friends ran all through
that mall, the mall is about to be redeveloped. They
(20:55):
have new owners and that fifty six acres that the
mall sits on in March nineteen seventy four was sold
and it was sold to a development company that is
now being somewhat vague about their future plans. But what's
being said, and when you look at different community groups
(21:16):
or you kind of pay attention to pages that are
local to La Puente. As I do, that's my job
to give you the ins and outs. You'll see that
the development company is aiming to make some sort of
multi family dwelling. There's a huge apartment complex that is
(21:36):
expected to go into the place of the La Puente mall,
and a lot of the lot, when you look at
it from an aerial point of view, is already being
marked off for the parking and for how many buildings
are going to go in this area.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
So this fifty year old structure that.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Has been so beloved and the community is going to be,
like many other things, a parking lot events and then
have some sort of development put on top of it.
And when you look at again, so many of these
other restaurants or so many of these other sorts of businesses.
That's kind of the way that things are going. And
(22:13):
it is traumatic to see your community change. I know
for me, when I go through my community I grew
up in, things don't look the same and that can
be hard on us. We have to, unfortunately accept that
we can't stop it. And La Puente is the kind
of latest casualty in the juggernaut of developments.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
These huge developments.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
So if you're in that area, just expect for your
traffic to be increased dramatically, for the population density to
just completely spike.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
And that can be uncomfortable. I know it firsthand.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
When we come back, we're going to talk about something
else that is extremely uncomfortable, being scammed.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
No one likes to be scammed. And the latest scam.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Alert has to do with those little QR codes, those
little strange square boxes with those lines that usually you
would see on the bottom of your of your drink
or your package or whatever it might be. They're popping
up everywhere. They're on menus and they're also on parking meters.
And I'm going to tell you why there's a huge
(23:22):
scam looming in the Southland. KFI AM six forty Live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
You're listening to Soul cal Saturday with Tawalla Sharp on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Tiffany Hobbs here with you.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Metered parking, parking, period, But metered parking in the city
of Los Angeles is impossible.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
It is horrendous. It is its own horror film.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Spielberg should produce a movie just about metered parking alone,
because it is terrifying. I once put in a quarter,
and I say once, like this is long ago, this
is like two weeks ago. I put in a quarter
in a meter and I got four minutes for a quarter.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
A quarter?
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Yeah, that was that like a flubdug? Did the machine
mess up? Or that's how much a quarter? It was?
Honestly four minutes A diamonds worth six minutes in some areas,
but not in downtown Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
In the middle mode, they knew what they were doing,
Yeah they did.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
And the thing about it, too is you start to rationalize, like, Okay,
can I make it to this thing I need to do?
Can I do this in like six minutes when you
know you need twenty seven minutes? Whatever it is, I
had to add more money. That's how I get my adrenaline, though,
just like putting in a quarter and then seeing what
I can get done in that time. Like people who
get adrenaline by riding until the gas runs out. That's
how I get my To get your kid, you put
(24:59):
my whole diamond in, see what I can get done there.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
I don't have a ticket. I'm like yes, and I'm
doing that.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
By default because this is what you have to do,
even if you don't want to do it.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Well.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Again, parking is really difficult, whether it's a parking sign
on top of another sign on top of a third sign,
that's practically giving you an aneurysm trying to decipher what
the actual instructions and dos and don'ts are to these
exorbitant prices that fluctuate. That's that dynamic pricing that's hidden
that we don't even realize that we're partaking in. But
(25:30):
meters are one of the first examples of dynamic pricing.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
For sure.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
You now have alternatives that are supposed to help make
things more convenient. And one of those alternatives, because you
can't avoid not paying lest you risk getting a very
hefty ticket, which I'm sure you have I know I have,
one of those alternatives is to do the pay by
app or pay by phone using a QR code.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
This is what it looks like.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
You go to a parking meter and on the back
or the front of the parking meter somewhere situated as
one of these little grid boxes. They're usually black boxes
with lines in the middle against a white backdrop, and
they'll have some link for you to either type into
your smartphone or whatever you have there that can access
the internet, or you can use your phone's camera app
(26:25):
to take a picture which will then or hold it
up to it and use the phone camera to link
you directly to the website in which you will then
enter your payment information so that you can pay digitally
for your parking. Now you might be saying, why would
I pay digitally for my parking if I have quarters? Well,
if you are out, you're at your shakeshack trying to
(26:46):
get your burger before it closes, or you're at some
mall trying to get something before it closes down, and
you know you need more time, but you don't want
to run back to the meter or you know that
you won't be able to.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Make it back in time.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
You can actually use the app to add more money convenience,
and with convenience comes the scammers. It's like they are tandem.
They are part and parcel. When you have something that
is a digital resource, you have people who know how
to exploit it, and exploit it they're doing and this
(27:18):
story comes out of Redondo Beach Police and Redondo Beach
are warning the public about fake QR payment codes found
on parking meters. The fake codes, these codes were placed
on approximately one hundred and fifty parking meters along Esplanade
and they're in that Riviera Village area. If you're down there,
(27:41):
that's right along the coast, that's right at the edge
of the of the walkway there where the beach is,
and you park there and you go down to the beach.
It's a very convenient place to park. However, police are
saying that these fake codes.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Don't take you to the right website.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
The website they're supposed to take you two is something
called pay by phone. Put your information in boom you
as your time. No, it's not taking you to pay
by phone. It's taking you to something called POI by
phone the slip of one little letter. Instead of pay
(28:19):
by phone, the fraudulent website is pohy by phone. So
if you're not keenly aware, if you're not paying attention,
and they're exploiting you because they know you're rushing, they
know you're vulnerable, and you're not looking clearly, this website
is going to look just like the website you intended
to put your payment information in and instead you have
(28:41):
these scammers who have now siphoned your credit card information
and are going to use it to do whatever it
is they're doing. Redondo Beach is warning the public saying
if you notice this, please report it because even though
they found one hundred and fifty parking meters with these
fraudulent QR codes, there are likely more. And if that's
not bad enough, there are also QR codes on tickets.
(29:06):
So let's say you park and you do everything right,
and you actually use the pay by phone correct website. Well,
you might come back to a ticket after a day
at the beach or getting food right there on the water,
and that ticket will have a QR code where you
can use your phone to automatically access the website and
pay online, and that website is fraudulent.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
These scammers have thought of everything.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
This is really scary because I just downloaded about a
month ago an app and I have it on my
phone because I want it to also partake in that convenience.
And it's called park Smarter, the same thing as this
pay by phone or other apps that are out there
and more popping up. But now it makes me wonder
(29:51):
if I am also making myself vulnerable to these sorts
of phishing attempts.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
There are plenty, and again.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
If they're there one hundred and fifty found, then there
are probably one hundred and fifty more out there.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
That have been undetected. So this is my warning to you.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Look very carefully at the websites should you choose to
use these pay by phone devices, these QR codes. Look
very carefully, make sure everything is spelled correctly so that
you don't end up getting scammed out of lots and
lots of money. Money you could use at shakeshack or
in and out if you're smart like I am. When
(30:29):
we come back, we're going to talk a little bit
about what's going on around the school districts from San
Diego up to LAUSD, some of the bad news coming
out of these first couple of weeks of school, and
if you have kids in LAUSD, especially at the high
school level, you're definitely going to want to tune in

so many great things lined up for you. We're gonna
check in on what air travel, ground travel, what everything
is gonna look like over this three day weekend in
(01:38):
the Southland. We're gonna talk about one of the most
famous movie sets in Los Angeles and whether or not
it's been sold, whether or not it should have been sold,
should it even still be standing given its really tormented history.
We're gonna look at a popular burger chain that's shutting

Speaker 2 (02:25):
I'm going to tell you a little bit about whether
or not they are ding ding ding answer, they're not,
but we'll get into more about the why. We're also
going to get into whether or not you are the
lucky or perhaps unlucky lottery ticket holder, depending on if
you can get that winning ticket in today. It has
to be postmarked by today and I'll tell you where
(02:48):
it has to go, how much it is worth, and
what you stand to win or risk if you do
not go ahead and do that. We're going to talk
about as well different things that are happening around the
Southland events. It is a long three day weekend. I
want to definitely not leave you empty handed as we
are now in the throes of Labor Day weekend. Let's
(03:10):
get into it first again, this is one of the
busiest weekends for travel, one of the busiest weekends, and
usually the three day weekend of Labor Day marks the
end of the summer travel season. The TSA keeps record
of travel in different patterns. It's peaks, it's lolls, and
(03:32):
again Labor Day tends.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
To be kind of this marker for all.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Right, we're ending the summer travel, we're all getting back
to work in school, so everyone kind of take your
last push and get all of your travel plans out well.
This weekend, it is estimated that more than seventeen million
people will be traveling around the country. That's an eight
(03:57):
point five percent increase, a hike, a spike since just
last year. So as we've seen trending upwards since twenty
twenty and all of the closures that happened during the
pandemic and all of the stops to travel, we are
well back into traveling. People are very comfortable. They're getting
on cruises like Twala and Mowen family, They're traveling by plane, train, automobile.
(04:24):
It is a busy, busy weekend. And if you've been
on the roads, as I was commuting here to Burbank
from close to downtown LA, you're probably noticing an uptick
in traffic, and that's just hyper local traffic. Thinking about
outside of your general area. It is a very busy
weekend with many millions of people venturing out.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
You know what else is also up?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
What else is a constant travel companion now.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
For US COVID.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
COVID is right there next to you on that airplane seat,
It's right there with you, you on that train, whatever
it may be, it may very well be in your car,
but COVID numbers are spiking, So we're talking about traveling,
and in correlation with that travel, we're also having to
reckon with this illness fluctuating upward. So let's talk a
(05:18):
little bit about this travel as well. The more popular
places for local travel are San Diego, Anaheim, the Central Coast,
the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas. These are usually by car
or by train or some sort of transportation that's ground
(05:38):
and if you're flying Seattle, So those are the places
that most people are traveling. Are you on the road
right now, listening to KFI on your way up to
Seattle or on your way to Vegas or San Diego?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Are you already there?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Are you noticing that it is more jam packed than normal.
What I've been say seeing as well is that a
lot of people are kind of getting back to those
plans that they may have put on hold.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Last year or the year before. So you also are.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Seeing that inflated cost of travel, So prepare yourself for that.
It is Saturday, and we'll get back to more about
travel when we come back, and I'll tell you just
a little bit more about what to expect if you
are going to try and kind of cram those travel
plans in between now and Tuesday, which is generally the
(06:32):
end if you're stretching it of this long day weekend.
Unlike those of us here in the studio who are
not traveling, we're here and we're here with you. We'll
be here with you until seven. It's KFI AM six
forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app for so Cow Saturday.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
You're listening to soul Cal Saturday with Tawala Sharp on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Just got a big kf I AM six forty Live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. It's soul Cal Saturday. I'm
Tiffany Hobbs sitting in with you from five to seven today.
Four to Wallace Sharp, who's entrusting me over the airwaves
of El Segundo Guardina sil Beach and you kaipa shout
(07:22):
out to all of you guys listening. I feel like
this is very quiet storm. How do I transition from
this to the bad news about travel? Well, we're just
gonna get back into it and wrap this last story
up about Labor Day travel, the peaks, the lolls, and
what you are to expect if you are one of
those people out there traveling, enjoying yourself while the rest
(07:43):
of us.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Are at work.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
If you are out and let's say you traveled by
car to Las Vegas, or you drove down to San
Diego or up to the Central Coast or flu or
whatever you might have done, the worst times to travel
have been released by the TSA. They gather this data
and they're able to package it and share it with
(08:07):
you as I will. Now, if you are traveling back
after this long weekend tomorrow, the worst times to travel
are between eleven am and eight p m. Kind of
sounds like plumbers hours, where they expect you to be
available whenever over the course of a twelve hour span.
(08:28):
With this, the worst times to travel are the entire
day eleven am to eight pm. So if you're driving
back starting tomorrow Sunday, expect to be in traffic. If
you're driving back Monday or dare say, Tuesday, expect to
be in traffic unless you leave super duper early or
(08:49):
you drive very late at night. Should you be driving
into southern California and you want to take a little
pit stop, a little tourist stop, you might find yourself
in front of the Poltergeist House.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Why might you do that?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Well, you might want to take a picture for your
own memory because you're a fan of horror, or you
might have been an interested buyer because the Poltergeist House
has been on the market. However, it was recently sold,
but it was sold for an undisclosed amount. Have you
seen Poltergeist? The nineteen eighty two film produced by Steven Spielberg,
(09:33):
starring a young, dashing Craig T.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Nelson.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Horror classic family tormented by evil spirits. It's a focal
point of the horror genre. But the movies lore continued
after the filming wrapped because there were four cast members
who met their untimely demise during the filming and also
after the filming. Those deaths happen on the property, and
(10:01):
I'll get into some specs about the property in a moment.
They didn't happen on the property, but a lot of
things that were unusual did in fact happen at the
house and on the grounds of this semi valley house.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Let's tell you a little bit about the house. First.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
It's twenty three hundred acres. Excuse me, that'd be huge,
twenty three hundred square feet. It's on a third acre
lot has a backyard pool a spa. That pool, if
you remember from Poltergeist, was a very interesting backdrop for
a scene that many people remember as being very unsettling.
(10:40):
The natural light floods the living room. This is from
the real estate listing. Floods the living room through large windows.
The formal dining room leads to the kitchen. The fireplace
warms the family room. There's a built in office space,
but that can double as a fifth bedroom or a
seance room or exorcist room if you want to go
ahead and do that. There's a primary bedroom upstairs, a
(11:03):
spot inspired bathroom with a large tub, dual sinks. There's
also a walk in closet, which is funny that they
note this, because who doesn't want a walk in closet.
But what they're not sharing with you in the listing
is what happened on the property. Again, no one died
to our knowledge, and if they did, real estate agents.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Would have to bylog disclose that. But there were some very.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Unsettling things, including the rumor that producer Steven Spielberg used
real human skeletons as props during the filming of the movie,
which would have then been on that property, so you
would have real human skeletons as well. There was an
(11:48):
actual exorcism that was held on the property because cast
members and crew felt uncomfortable by some of the things
that were happening by some of the scenes.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Things got a little too real, so to speak.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
And now, after thirty five forty years, this house has
gone on the market forty five years actually of original ownership.
There was one original owner and this owner has finally
sold the house. It was listed originally for a little
over one million, one point one seventy five million, which
(12:27):
seems kind of low when you think about how popular
it is and exorbitant home prices in Los Angeles County.
But it did in fact get listed for just around
that price and sold for an undisclosed amount. But someone
bought it. Someone bought it, and it's extremely bad juju.
(12:50):
I wouldn't stay there. I'm not interested if it became
an Airbnb house, as Airbnb likes to do with these
themed houses. They'll they'll find a property and create a
themed experience for you to rent for a weekend. I
wouldn't want to stay there, and I know there are
lots of properties where people do engage themselves in this
(13:10):
kind of horror aficionado experience that's not for me, let
alone buying an actual property where it exorcism was held.
And I wonder also if real estate agents have to
disclose that someone died or there was some sort of
tragedy that did lead to a death on a property,
(13:31):
whether an apartment or a single family home.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
If real estate agents.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Will also have to disclose whether or not there were
some sort of spiritual experience or exorcism on a property.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
That's something I think.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I would want to know before I would go into escrow.
But that's just me. When we come back, we're going
to talk a little bit about a closure, a big
closure over nine We're closed nine places and I'll tell
you exactly what.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
But it has to do with burgers.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
And if you like burgers like me, any closure is
a devastating blow. We need all the burger places we
can muster in southern California. We'll talk about that when
you come back. KF I Am six ' ford. You'll
shake your head at me, Kayla.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I agree.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
KF I Am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
You're listening to Soul cal Saturday with Tawala Sharp on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
K I AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
It's so Cow Saturday.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
I'm Tiffany Hobbs with you here and Elizabeth Lake Hawthorne,
your Belinda will tomorrow checking in with you, saying with
you until seven o'clock tonight. Let's talk about some really
unfortunate news.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Trigger warning.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
If you are a burger lover like me, you love
your fast food burgers, and you know they're kind of
hard to come by because not every burger is created equally,
then you might be very upset at this next news.
I'll tell you this. It does not involve in and out.
Did you hear that collective?
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Sigh?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
That collective just relief across southern California. No, it doesn't
involve in and out, but it does involve its competitor,
Shake Shack. And what's happening with Shakeshack. Well, Shakeshack is
closing nine underperforming locations, including five of which are right
(15:45):
here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
And you think about.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Closures, there have been a lot in the news lately.
We've been talking on KFI about the hot dog on
a stick at the Redondo Beach Pier. That's closing, that's
expecting to to be done for good as of the
next couple of weeks, So get out there if that's
your thing.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Red Lobster has rejected.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Twenty three lease renewals across Los Angeles or across the country,
with many of them being in Los Angeles, and those
lease renewals renewals actually expired today today, So this is
happening today where these particular restaurants are going to be
shuttered indefinitely and redeveloped into whatever they may become, a Starbucks,
(16:32):
a Target, or whatever it might be. When you think
about Shakeshack nine underperforming locations, including five in Los Angeles,
and why do they say that? Why is this happening? Well,
the company says this is the first time that they've
closed restaurants for purposes that were not related to construction.
(16:55):
So it wasn't because of a lack of space or
space that is necessarily suitable for a restaurant. No, this closure,
this move is a result of quote a periodic evaluation
of its portfolio of company operated units. In short, the
money wasn't coming in fast enough. Why some people surmise
(17:20):
that it's because and this is a very easy finger
to point, This is a very easy scapegoat to have
that this is because of the increase for fast food workers,
the increase in the minimum wage up to twenty plus dollars. No,
that's not quite it. These stores, these locations weren't suffering
because they were paying their workers more. No, that's a
(17:44):
cop out. They were suffering because people just aren't coming
to their restaurants nearly as much as what they thought.
And these locations include Koreatown, Downtown, Cover City, Silver Lake,
Westfield to Panga, and also the Bunker Hill in downtown LA.
So when you think about these locations, these are all
(18:05):
very densely populated, very very wide foot traffic berth if
you may.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
A lot of people are in.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Those areas, but they're not necessarily patronizing these specific restaurants.
And now they're closing. But again, a lot of the
deflection is to say, well, we're closing these stores because
and this isn't coming from the company specifically, but outsiders,
people who again who are hypothesizing, are saying that this
(18:34):
is because of the increase in the minimum wage, when
in fact, right here they're saying, no, it's because of
the company operated units being evaluated periodically and they're not
bringing in enough money. So if you're interested in something
like this, you're thinking of opening some sort of restaurant,
you want to brick and mortar, just know that it
(18:56):
is a very tumultuous time. You'll hear the Fork reporter
talk a lot about brick and mortar restaurants and how
hard it is to maintain these sorts of businesses. Well,
it even affects these larger chain restaurants. And we think
about closures, we also can talk about the La Puente Mall.
(19:17):
The La Puente Mall has been a mainstay in La
Poente for over fifty years. And like Shakeshack, like Red Lobster,
like the Hawthorne Mall or the West Side Pavilion, it too.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Is on the brink of closure. And about a year
ago the.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
La Puente Mall was discussed as a candidate for redevelopment.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
The community came out a lot.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Of people noticed, of course, that that mall was barren,
that it was very infrequently visited.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Stores were closing, and we're.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Seeing this all across the United States. You look at
your own malls in your own area, you'll notice how
many stores are shuttered, how many blank spaces or bear
spaces there are. Well, the community wanted to keep the
mall because not everyone is interested in shopping online. And
there are some rumbling, some reports that are saying that
(20:11):
actual in person shopping is on the increase because of
the fatigue of ordering online and not necessarily always getting
what it is as you're expecting, or having issues with returns,
or people want to be able to feel they want
the tangibility of going to an actual physical store or restaurant.
(20:32):
But this mall, the Lapoente Mall, like others, is on
the brink of closure. And after fifty years of popularity,
including being the backdrop for iconic moments in Back to
the Future where Marty McFly and friends ran all through
that mall, the mall is about to be redeveloped. They
(20:55):
have new owners and that fifty six acres that the
mall sits on in March nineteen seventy four was sold
and it was sold to a development company that is
now being somewhat vague about their future plans. But what's
being said, and when you look at different community groups
(21:16):
or you kind of pay attention to pages that are
local to La Puente. As I do, that's my job
to give you the ins and outs. You'll see that
the development company is aiming to make some sort of
multi family dwelling. There's a huge apartment complex that is
(21:36):
expected to go into the place of the La Puente mall,
and a lot of the lot, when you look at
it from an aerial point of view, is already being
marked off for the parking and for how many buildings
are going to go in this area.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
So this fifty year old structure that.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Has been so beloved and the community is going to be,
like many other things, a parking lot events and then
have some sort of development put on top of it.
And when you look at again, so many of these
other restaurants or so many of these other sorts of businesses.
That's kind of the way that things are going. And
(22:13):
it is traumatic to see your community change. I know
for me, when I go through my community I grew
up in, things don't look the same and that can
be hard on us. We have to, unfortunately accept that
we can't stop it. And La Puente is the kind
of latest casualty in the juggernaut of developments.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
These huge developments.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
So if you're in that area, just expect for your
traffic to be increased dramatically, for the population density to
just completely spike.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
And that can be uncomfortable. I know it firsthand.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
When we come back, we're going to talk about something
else that is extremely uncomfortable, being scammed.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
No one likes to be scammed. And the latest scam.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Alert has to do with those little QR codes, those
little strange square boxes with those lines that usually you
would see on the bottom of your of your drink
or your package or whatever it might be. They're popping
up everywhere. They're on menus and they're also on parking meters.
And I'm going to tell you why there's a huge
(23:22):
scam looming in the Southland. KFI AM six forty Live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
You're listening to Soul cal Saturday with Tawalla Sharp on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Tiffany Hobbs here with you.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Metered parking, parking, period, But metered parking in the city
of Los Angeles is impossible.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
It is horrendous. It is its own horror film.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Spielberg should produce a movie just about metered parking alone,
because it is terrifying. I once put in a quarter,
and I say once, like this is long ago, this
is like two weeks ago. I put in a quarter
in a meter and I got four minutes for a quarter.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
A quarter?
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Yeah, that was that like a flubdug? Did the machine
mess up? Or that's how much a quarter? It was?
Honestly four minutes A diamonds worth six minutes in some areas,
but not in downtown Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
In the middle mode, they knew what they were doing,
Yeah they did.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
And the thing about it, too is you start to rationalize, like, Okay,
can I make it to this thing I need to do?
Can I do this in like six minutes when you
know you need twenty seven minutes? Whatever it is, I
had to add more money. That's how I get my adrenaline, though,
just like putting in a quarter and then seeing what
I can get done in that time. Like people who
get adrenaline by riding until the gas runs out. That's
how I get my To get your kid, you put
(24:59):
my whole diamond in, see what I can get done there.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
I don't have a ticket. I'm like yes, and I'm
doing that.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
By default because this is what you have to do,
even if you don't want to do it.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Well.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Again, parking is really difficult, whether it's a parking sign
on top of another sign on top of a third sign,
that's practically giving you an aneurysm trying to decipher what
the actual instructions and dos and don'ts are to these
exorbitant prices that fluctuate. That's that dynamic pricing that's hidden
that we don't even realize that we're partaking in. But
(25:30):
meters are one of the first examples of dynamic pricing.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
For sure.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
You now have alternatives that are supposed to help make
things more convenient. And one of those alternatives, because you
can't avoid not paying lest you risk getting a very
hefty ticket, which I'm sure you have I know I have,
one of those alternatives is to do the pay by
app or pay by phone using a QR code.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
This is what it looks like.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
You go to a parking meter and on the back
or the front of the parking meter somewhere situated as
one of these little grid boxes. They're usually black boxes
with lines in the middle against a white backdrop, and
they'll have some link for you to either type into
your smartphone or whatever you have there that can access
the internet, or you can use your phone's camera app
(26:25):
to take a picture which will then or hold it
up to it and use the phone camera to link
you directly to the website in which you will then
enter your payment information so that you can pay digitally
for your parking. Now you might be saying, why would
I pay digitally for my parking if I have quarters? Well,
if you are out, you're at your shakeshack trying to
(26:46):
get your burger before it closes, or you're at some
mall trying to get something before it closes down, and
you know you need more time, but you don't want
to run back to the meter or you know that
you won't be able to.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Make it back in time.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
You can actually use the app to add more money convenience,
and with convenience comes the scammers. It's like they are tandem.
They are part and parcel. When you have something that
is a digital resource, you have people who know how
to exploit it, and exploit it they're doing and this
(27:18):
story comes out of Redondo Beach Police and Redondo Beach
are warning the public about fake QR payment codes found
on parking meters. The fake codes, these codes were placed
on approximately one hundred and fifty parking meters along Esplanade
and they're in that Riviera Village area. If you're down there,
(27:41):
that's right along the coast, that's right at the edge
of the of the walkway there where the beach is,
and you park there and you go down to the beach.
It's a very convenient place to park. However, police are
saying that these fake codes.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Don't take you to the right website.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
The website they're supposed to take you two is something
called pay by phone. Put your information in boom you
as your time. No, it's not taking you to pay
by phone. It's taking you to something called POI by
phone the slip of one little letter. Instead of pay
(28:19):
by phone, the fraudulent website is pohy by phone. So
if you're not keenly aware, if you're not paying attention,
and they're exploiting you because they know you're rushing, they
know you're vulnerable, and you're not looking clearly, this website
is going to look just like the website you intended
to put your payment information in and instead you have
(28:41):
these scammers who have now siphoned your credit card information
and are going to use it to do whatever it
is they're doing. Redondo Beach is warning the public saying
if you notice this, please report it because even though
they found one hundred and fifty parking meters with these
fraudulent QR codes, there are likely more. And if that's
not bad enough, there are also QR codes on tickets.
(29:06):
So let's say you park and you do everything right,
and you actually use the pay by phone correct website. Well,
you might come back to a ticket after a day
at the beach or getting food right there on the water,
and that ticket will have a QR code where you
can use your phone to automatically access the website and
pay online, and that website is fraudulent.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
These scammers have thought of everything.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
This is really scary because I just downloaded about a
month ago an app and I have it on my
phone because I want it to also partake in that convenience.
And it's called park Smarter, the same thing as this
pay by phone or other apps that are out there
and more popping up. But now it makes me wonder
(29:51):
if I am also making myself vulnerable to these sorts
of phishing attempts.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
There are plenty, and again.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
If they're there one hundred and fifty found, then there
are probably one hundred and fifty more out there.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
That have been undetected. So this is my warning to you.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Look very carefully at the websites should you choose to
use these pay by phone devices, these QR codes. Look
very carefully, make sure everything is spelled correctly so that
you don't end up getting scammed out of lots and
lots of money. Money you could use at shakeshack or
in and out if you're smart like I am. When
(30:29):
we come back, we're going to talk a little bit
about what's going on around the school districts from San
Diego up to LAUSD, some of the bad news coming
out of these first couple of weeks of school, and
if you have kids in LAUSD, especially at the high
school level, you're definitely going to want to tune in
