A strike, a protest, and a party assembly, we get you caught up on all the action and other big crowds from this weekend. Then, there’s another zoning battle on the ballot about more types of housing near single-family homes. Plus, it sounds like a real medical drama, but it's just practice. We visit the program where actors are training doctors.
