So the baseball playoffs are here. I'm rooting for a Freeway World Series. How cool will that be, the L.A. Dodgers vs. L.A. Angels in a battle for baseball's championship. It's looking more like it after the Angels dramatically came back from behind to finsih off the Red Sox earlier today, 7-6, winning series 3-0. LAA was down to its final strike before a single got the rally started. That's how the Halos have been playing this season, coming back from behind. The Angels looked great the 1st two games in Anaheim, with there pitching dominating Boston. The Dodgers finished off the St. Louis Cardinals last night winning 5-1. Boy that series was marked by Game 2 as the Dodgers dramatically came back in the bottom of the ninth trailing 2-1. That pinch hit single by Mark Loretta summed it up. I was watching "dodgerfilms" videos on Youtube of the game 2 and it was an electric atmosphere at Dodger Stadium. Both L.A. teams are 6-0 right now. The NLCS begin Thursday (PHI/COL @ Dodgers) and ALCS begin Friday (Angels @ NY Yankees). It should be fun.
Game 1 of World Series Wednesday, October 28th: Los Angeles Dodgers @ Los Angeles Angels. That's what all of L.A. wants

The Recession
The Recession has been going on for almost two years now. It started back in December 2007 and the world has changed. Business' has been slowing down and more people have become unemployed. The auto industry ran out of money as they declared bankruptcy and its ghost town in Detroit. It has been scary. California's unemployment rate is at around 10% now. All the schools have been hit with budget cuts, the cuts influencing the colleges the most. Colleges have had to lower down there student admission rates.
Personally, it has not really affected me yet but my family has not been out to eat for a long time. We have eaten at home most of the time. But recently, we went to Artesia City Plaza to dine. We had gone there a lot earlier this year especially that Pho Saigon restaurant. But when we went there, that plaza was so quiet. The Pho place had closed its doors and so had Four Seasons Cafe next door. That really shocked me. We had just ate there 6 months earlier. Both had closed because of the recession. And to add to it, there were many vacant and empty spaces in that plaza. This is what the recession has done to that plaza that opened around 2007. Earlier this year, one of a Korean restaurant we would go too also closed its doors due to the recession.
I hope this recession can end soon. It is too scary seeing this happen.
