Since taking office last year, President Donald Trump has loudly called for plans to…

On my way through Skid Row to meet up with Estela Lopez, things looked pretty much as they did when I spent time there more than 20 years ago and first heard the promises that things would be better soon.Tents lined some of the sidewalks, making them unpassable.

What we don’t know is why he’s there, when he will leave, and what state he is in right now.  McConnell, 84, has been hospitalized for a full three weeks.
