LAObserved’s Denise Hamilton was nearly killed as a U-Haul hitch smashed through her windshield as she headed home along the 5 Freeway. She had just attended an Esotouric bus tour – you know, those tours that feature the crazy deaths of Angelenos? Hamilton newest novel, The Last Embrace – a noir mystery based in 1949 LA – comes out July 1st.

- Is Silverlake the new Superstition Capital of the Southland? Fancy Notions writes about The Curse of the Bikini Dancers.
- And Ed from M-M-M-My Pomona notices the growing trend of cycling in L.A. and has a life-saving tip for you: wear a helmet.
