  • Hip and erudite, wacky and at times lurid, Esotouric leads unpredictable bus tours of L.A.'s fascinating and neglected neighborhoods. Tour themes mix crime and social history, literature and film, rock n' roll and architecture and explore the L.A. of Raymond Chandler, Tom Waits, James Ellroy, John Fante, and Charles Bukowski.
  • Scientists are growing coral in nurseries and hope to transplant the coral to Islamorada's Davis Reef in the Florida Keys. If all takes, such a procedure could be a way to re-establish reefs damaged by humans.
  • Internet travel provider Friendly Planet Travel has announced an ultra low-price trip to three of China's most fascinating spots: Beijing, Xi'an (haunt of the Terra Cotta warriors), and Shanghai. The Taste of China itinerary starts at $999 per person and includes round-trip airfare to and from L.A.
