We take a look at the mayor's first 9 months in office in advance of his "State of the City" address. Plus, is there really nothing we can do about traffic in L.A.? Stephen Colbert will be David Letterman's replacement on Late Night. We hear about new research that could bring movement to paralyzed limbs. And we get a preview of this weekend's final Grilled Cheese Invitational in downtown LA.
