Hour 2 (09.28) Hurricane Polo is slamming Mexico’s Pacific coast, Nolo is pounding Hawaii, and El Niño has SoCal on coastal watch — Long Beach looking at monster tides and a flooded boardwalk.  

Then food: Langer’s by MacArthur Park takes the LA Times Gold, In-N-Out plants four more shops in Chino, Commerce, South El Monte, and Stockton, a man is camped on a Brentwood bus stop, and Fawnskin unveils a Jackie the eagle statue — same mountain town as a Kobe statue?  

Timmy’s been a “60 Minutes” kid since Andy Rooney (Colgate, like Mark), and Redlands wants bars dark after midnight over a three-year crime bump while liquor stores skate.  

Closing curveball: 13-year-old Long Island prodigy Joe Petraro-Hyppolite, IQ 168, is already in college and headed to NYU for a master’s. Timmy’s verdict: too young for campus — you can’t keep up with the older kids’ nightlife.
