#6: Hungry and looking for some inexpensive grub? Come along with HTLA host Brian De Los Santos and LAist food editor Gab Chabrán as they go in search of cheap, fast eats in communities all over LA County. First up: some old school eateries in Pasadena. 

Locations: Burrito Express, Sandwiches By Connal, Roma Market

Guest: Gab Chabrán, food editor at LAist.

#5: For its size, Los Angeles is lacking in parks and other green spaces compared to other major cities. Meet one man who is on a mission to make a difference in some of L.A.'s most underserved neighborhoods - one tree at a time. 
Guest: Aaron Thomas, Director of Urban Forestry for the non-profit Northeast Trees.

#4: It's hot, Los Angles. We hear how people dealt. Plus, Chinatown is a food desert. The neighborhood is home to a lot of low income seniors and there is no local grocer that serves them. The new LA River Farmers' Market that opened up in nearby the LA State Historic Park hopes to fill some of the void.

#3: LA Metro's long-awaited K Line will soon be ready to ride. Seven stops will open later this year, taking folks from Crenshaw to Inglewood and Westchester (sorry but that LAX stop will take a minute). We get the tea from residents and business owners who've been waiting on this train for a few years. Next stop: Mar Vista -- to go shopping at the farmer's market, one of more than 100 in the county.

#2: California is in a drought ... Again. LA has been facing water restrictions since June, and Angelenos have been a doing a pretty good job at conserving. The thing is, we gotta do more. It won't be easy, but we meet up with one long-time resident who shows us how it's possible.

Guest List: Erin Stone, Climate Emergency Reporter, LAist
Lynetta McElroy, Leimert Park resident and water conservationist

#1: There's a lot you can learn by walking people's streets so How to L.A. will explore all the many neighborhoods of Los Angeles. Today, we start with West Adams, one of the oldest areas in LA. It also happens to be the neighborhood where HTLA host Brian De Los Santos grew up.
