Variety at the Farmers Market

The Palisades farmers market is indomitable. I counted seven different vendors today selling Asian pear apples, including one vendor that had four different kinds—the Shinko, Hosui, Kosui and the Refnes.

Designer Jewelry? What Next?

I am terribly disappointed to see that Caruso has invited another high-end friend to join our village. Did he not read or hear the public meetings, which begged for family food, affordable merchandise and unique meeting spaces? The line-up he is proposing is exclusive and depressing.

The Heat Has Passed

Isn’t it the most wonderful time of the year in the Palisades?

Walkers

Regarding people walking in the middle of street—I am a walker that walks in the street and I have been doing it for years. I have been forced off the sidewalk by people walking dogs. I moved to the road due to being licked by dogs, growled at, etc.

Coffee Bean Bathrooms

There ought to be a street sign notifying all cars and pedestrians that there is no bathroom in local Coffee Bean—go two doors down to Noah’s Bagel. My guess is 200 man-hours would be saved annually with a big sign like this. If I had a nickel every time I was in Coffee Bean and someone asked for the bathroom!

Tight with CVS

I just had to respond to that person who was very snippy about CVS. I think it’s wonderful, and it’s got an amazing range of stuff at good prices. It reminds me of the dime store in the Palisades when I was a young girl. And I love all the staff, they are from all over the place and are wonderful and helpful. I loved their $7 tights, but the manager said they only had a few pairs because they were trying them out, I bought some for all my friends and the lady there who helped me, Alma, the last pair in her size. She is lovely too. I would rather buy clothes there, or at Wal-Mart when I am in Palm Springs, and not spend $500 on a pair of jeans at Elyse Walker and give the rest of money to charity or the Optimists. And I love reading the articles in your newspaper too, all about the community. Thank you, John, for being a nice editor with a nice accent.
