Hear in the City went to Vegas this weekend to map the city with volunteers for Obama and Romney who traveled all the way from Los Angeles to get out the vote in this swing state where the President won in 2008 by a 537 vote margin. Listen tomorrow on KPFK, 90.7FM at 2:30 PDT.

With one week left until the U.S. presidential election, Sara visits Men's Central Jail in downtown Los Angeles where a group of faith-based volunteers teams up with the county sheriff's department to register eligible voters in jails. It's the first effort of its kind, and while most former felons and non-violent inmates serving misdemeanors are unaware of the fact, they do have the right to vote in California. At the end of the show we celebrate el Día de los Muertos with the Los Angeles Theater Academy's children's choir.

On this episode of Hear in the City, we enter a collection drawn from old boxes recently found in a house sold after the 1985 earthquake in Mexico City. The boxes belonged to the hard-working and versatile photographer, Lola Alvarez Bravo. Inside, was a treasure of documents and unedited photos and correspondence from a half century of travel and changing times. The Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach, California is showing the collection to the public for the first time. Plus, we dive into the underground warehouse electronica scene with music correspondent, Alvaro "el Barbaro" Parra.

On this episode, we visit a humble house on a winding road in the hills of Los Angeles where a group of artists turn one family's mortgage default and foreclosure story into a lens for looking at a larger problem. With "A Notorious Possession", artist Olga Koumoundouros squats the abandoned house across the street, paints it gold, and holds economic justice parties. We wrap up the show with a tribute to Igor Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring".

We are cruising down a European highway through the wooded hills of Belgium.

We are 30 kilometers from the border with the southern tip of Holland.

We are on a detour to an abandoned coal-mine-turned-into-art-space-commentary on the state of capitalism.

Where can kids who've been pushed to the margins of the learning experience in life find a place to reach their potential? This week's Hear in the City takes you to two spaces where dignity, integrity, and discipline guide the path to learning success for high-schoolers on two ends of Los Angeles: at a juvenile probation camp in the San Gabriel Mountains and with emerging hip-hop artists and DJ's at an after-school program in Watts. Featuring Rob Thelusma of Affirmative Athletics and Brian Mora at Inner Circle Youth with original music by DJ Nozer and Jahli. Reporting by Sara Harris and Alvaro Parra of High Life Radio.

On this episode, we meet a coyo-dog, Sara chases a coyote up into the hills in the broad daylight, and we revisit the animal's predicament in the urban space.

While most media are regurgitating Calderón and the PRI's assertions that Mexico has a president-elect, today on Hear in the City, Sara interviews investigative journalist and Enfoque Latino contributor Dolores Dorantes about what she calls "A Coup d' Etat, Mexican Style." We do a simultaneous translation, and we have a visit to the anti-Walmart protest this weekend as well.
