5 Things: Community Health Fair, Live Santa Monica Traffic

1. The Westside Family Health Center is marking National Health Center Week 2013 with a community health fair on Wednesday, Aug. 7 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. behind the health center at 1711 Ocean Park Blvd. For more information, visit www.wfhcenter.org. 

2. Check Santa Monica Patch's live traffic map before heading out to work or to run errands this week. 

3. Did you know there are a ton of social groups open to everyone on MeetUp.com? You can search by interest or location and a quick gander at the Santa Monica area shows meet ups for techies, hikers, singles, beach volleyball players, gamers and even honey lovers. Is there a group out there for you?

4. Northbound lanes of the California Incline will close later this week for repairs. What's your favorite alternative route?
