Sign of the Times
Years from now, archeologists exploring our area will make an unusual discovery: hundreds of curiously eight-sided signs, each one bright red with stark white lettering, spelling out a single word. The assumption will be that they were discarded after falling into disuse. There won’t be anyone left who remembers what purpose they served.
Munchies
I saw an urgent request for Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies on social media in the town last week. Does someone know when the first cannabis dispensary is coming?
Tivoli
Is Tivoli really remodeling? Sure looks and feels like they are closed for good. But we live in hope.
Kayndaves
Everyone keeps saying Kayndaves is coming back. And it looks that way, when I walked past. But when? And why do we need two new coffee places (Caffe Luxxe and Estate) when we already have the big names around the Green?
Bakery
I second the Alcove Bakery vote for the Caruso development! Ultra charming and delicious—I want to live next door to that Los Feliz jewel … in the Palisades!
Baa
That picture of sheep on the front page (“Flocking to Will Rogers,” about an art event) was weird. I did not understand what was going on. You are not running a farming magazine.
Crime
Over the holidays you reported that crime statistics were down across the Palisades in 2017, except for car thefts around Temescal. And now we have had all these burglaries in the Alphabet Streets and home invasions and nasty stuff like that. That is why I never trust statistics.
