Wednesday's Scoop: It's Leap Day, Anyone Celebrating?

Not a holiday, but not an everyday occurrence either—What do you do with the extra day handed to us every four years?

Greetings, and welcome to today's City Scoop. Today is Leap Day, that extra last day in February that only comes around once every four years. Nothing particularly special is happening in West Hollywood, but if you want to make the most of this Wednesday, here are a few things to do:
