LeBron James Wants L.A. Parade After Lakers & Dodgers Historical Wins
The coronavirus pandemic, unfortunately, hasn’t gone away. And by the way, things are looking, it doesn’t seem like it’ll be going anywhere any time soon. Simple things like family gatherings have been deemed hazardous, and even heading to the store requires preventative measures.

Ultimately, it’s prevented humans from actually being in close contact with one another which makes pretty much any type of event impossible to host. LeBron James, fresh off of a massive win with the Los Angeles Lakers, took to Twitter last night after the Dodgers won the World Series last night expressing that he wishes L.A. could turn up together.
“Man can we PLEASE have a parade!!! I know I know we can’t but DAMN I wanna celebrate with our Lakers & Dodgers fans,” he tweeted. “LA is the city of CHAMPIONS.”
Surely, plenty of people agree with LeBron James on this one including the Mayor of Los Angeles, Eric Garcetti, who replied to James, saying he’s down to do anything that follows social distancing guidelines and keeps the citizens of the city safe. Garcetti added that a parade is well-deserved for the efforts put in by the Lakers and the Dodgers to bring home major wins back to the city.
“Let’s talk. I’m down for anything safe. And so proud of you and the team. Thank you for ending our 32-year drought,” Garcetti tweeted. “And @KingJames you and the Lakers deserve the same. Thank you both and the @Dodgers and @Lakers for the best single month in LA sports history.”
Looks like LeBron might be able to celebrate with the city in some capacity, after all.

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”
Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.
“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.
But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
