5 Things: Cheap Gas and Traffic Conditions

Here's a handful of things to keep in mind for today.

• Before your morning commute, be sure to check traffic conditions on the Brentwood Patch traffic map. 
• Also, if you need to fill up before your drive in to work, the least expensive gas in the 90049 is $3.86 per gallon, according to GasBuddy.com. Find it at the Arco station at 9600 Avalon Blvd. at E. Colden Avenue.
• Today's weather will be no shock—it will be about the same as yesterday, according to the National Weather Service. The day will start off with patchy fog that will clear by 11 a.m. The day's high will be around 76 degrees. The NWS predicts similar weather for the rest of the week.
• Did you know you can find and join groups based on your interests and/or location on MeetUp.com? A quick gander at Westside area groups showed groups for hikers, singles, photographers, tennis players, salsa dancers, volunteers and even honey lovers. Is there a group for you?
  
• July was National Ice Cream, so on this last day of the month, where's your favorite local go-to place to get your ice cream fix?
