    • Wondering about traffic? Check your commute before work!
    • The Palisades Library will host a children's story and craft time featuring You Are What You Eat/What's Eating You with David Orozco at 4 p.m. The library is at 861 Alma Real Drive.
    • Over in Brentwood, Heroes Golf Course is offering a special two-for-one deal to Patch readers beginning today. To receive the discount, just mention this Patch board post. The course is at 11301 Wilshire Blvd. and is a nine-hole, par course located on the grounds of the West Los Angeles VA Hospital. The offer runs through Sept. 20.
