About this listen

Southern California has gotten enough rain over the past month that it’s time to call an early end to fire season. LAist looks into the history of the 1984 Olympic Games and how L.A. taxpayers avoided paying for it the last time. Food banks and pantry organizers say demand is still high even after SNAP benefits resume. Plus, more from Evening Edition.
