Twenty-four hours a day, March 2 through May, anyone can call the Theodore Payne Wildflower Hotline ((818) 768-3533 or www.wildflowerhotline.org) to find the best places to view wildflowers in Southern and Central California.  The hotline message is narrated by Emmy Award-winning actor Joe Spano (Hill Street Blues, Apollo 13, NYPD Blue) and is updated every Thursday evening with new information on more than 90 wildflower sites. The hotline is a public service of the Theodore Payne Foundation for Wild Flowers and Native Plants.

What is with all the fireworks every night? It sounds like a war zone on Ave 66.

Let me say, that this issue, alcohol sales, came up at our recent HHPNC LUC meeting. We nearly…Read More unanamously recommened against granting ANY more liqour licenses, with the exception of Full Service Resturants. My position is not that existing propritors want to sell booze pass 10PM. My problem is that they start selling alcolhol at 6, some 7 AM. That is unacceptable. Now, we can't force them not to, not yet... but we can ask, for the sake of those sick individuals who arem passed out on our sidewalks by 9AM, to voluntarily not sell booze until a decent hour. I suggest Noon. This can not be accomplished wothout the help of everyone who is concerned about the social problems inherent in Alcohol abuse, and the businesses that make that scourge possible.

Crime went down because the powers that were had grown up around, and knew the horror of gang oppression. So they did something about it. Will the new people continue the policy? Suddenly the neighborhoods felt safer. The rebirth of Highland Park, Glassell Park and even Eagle Rock wouldn't have happened without the gang suppression policies.

Mount Washington is a residential community with an elementary school, a semi-open(semi-closed?) museum and nothing else. No restaurants, no stores, no middle school, no high school. It doesn't exist all by itself. It's part of Northeast LA. I think whether we like it or not, all of us in Northeast LA are dependent on each other.
