Postcard From Los Angeles

In Los Angeles:
- A limo company gave out 10,000 boxes of free Thanksgiving dinners.
- The airport's traffic control offers have received special training that mandates they greet every idling driver with a smile before asking them to move their cars.
- A City Councilman proposes a ban on medical marijuana dispensaries.
- Officials offered Occupy L.A. a $1-a-year lease on a 10,000-square-foot office space near City Hall, land for farming and housing for the homeless as part of an effort to get the protesters to decamp.
