After more than a year without live music, South Bay’s Slaughterhouse is ready for the roaring crowd
by Ryan McDonald
On March 6 of last year, when face masks seemed a paranoid overstatement, the band Slaughterhouse played a show at the Factory, a venue in a converted industrial space about a half-mile west of the Los Angeles River. Proceeds went to aid victims of the bushfires that had recently ravaged the east coast of Australia, and they shared the bill with Clit Kat, Feels, and NIIS.

Sixth graders in the Redondo Unified School District returned to in person classes for two days a week on Wednesday, March 10, in a hybrid learning model with limited classroom sizes.
To comply with guidelines set by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, sixth grade students were broken up into two groups, or cohorts. Cohort One students attend in person classes for half the day on Tuesday and Thursday, while Cohort Two students do the same schedule on Wednesday and Friday.
Seventh and eighth grade students in the RBUSD are scheduled to return to campus on March 29, in one of two models, depending on whether or not LA County sees a drop in positive COVID-19 tests.
