📰 News we're reading

• Manhattan Beach contemplates Project Pulse, a major downtown overhaul (easyreadernews.com) — Manhattan Beach officials are zeroing in on redeveloping the former U.S. Bank site at 400 Manhattan Beach Boulevard, separating it from the broader Lot 3 "Project Pulse" plan and opening the existing lot for paid public parking. Councilmembers are debating building height, second-floor office space, parking shortages, and how to preserve small-town character while finding a private development partner and possibly coordinating with the neighboring Vons property.
   

• USC Morning Buzz: How Long Will Trent Mosley Be Out? (insideusc.blog) — A USC football column notes that coach Eric Musselman was involved in a verbal altercation at Manhattan Beach last weekend, adding local color to broader talk about injuries and upcoming games. While details are sparse, it's a reminder that high-profile college sports figures regularly pass through our beach, and their behavior here can quickly become part of the wider sports conversation.
   

• Update: Earthquake of 3.1 magnitude registered close to Compton in Los Angeles County on Sept. 17 (ocregister.com) — A mild 3.1 earthquake near Compton around 1:32 p.m. Thursday was felt by residents in several cities, including Manhattan Beach, according to early U.S. Geological Survey reports. Shaking was described as weak, but the temblor is part of a small cluster of recent quakes in the region, and locals are encouraged to share felt reports with USGS to improve monitoring.
