• Editorial: Brea is playing developer with taxpayer cash

That put it at No. 12 for revenues on the Fortune 500 list of companies. Obviously, the mega-retailer knows what it’s doing — and is perfectly capable of opening a new store without a government’s help.
  Yet the Brea City Council voted 3-1 to “enter an agreement with a Southern California real estate developer to pu

  When actor Alan Mingo Jr. landed the title role in the 50th anniversary revival of the Broadway musical “The Wiz,” he felt confident that he knew what would come next.
  A national tour, a Broadway run, and then back on the road again, he was imagining himself doing basically the same show he’d loved since his boyhood in Maryland in the ’80s.
  The first part of that unfolded as expected. The 2023 national tour of “The Wiz” moved to Broadway a year later, and retu
