Jennifer Garner, Alias …

I know Billy and Janice Crystal have just taken over as co-mayors, which is great. But, thinking ahead, what about Jennifer Garner? She is graceful, even when bothered by the paparazzi every Sunday morning when she steps out of church, good humored and a true Palisadian. The first honorary mayor was also an acclaimed, powerful and beautiful actress, Virginia Bruce, but we have not had a woman in charge since Rita Moreno in 1988. It’s about time.

Hit and Run

Does anyone recognize this dark blue/black Lexus? At around 5 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 25, the woman driver pulled out of the Pacific Palisades Woman’s Club lot on Haverford and hit my car before speeding off. I had pulled in to do the right thing and exchange proper details, but managed to get this quick picture. Think she was coming out of the Adderley School production of “Hamilton.” If anyone knows who this driver is please contact me through the Post.

Found a piece of jewelry while hiking on Los Liones Trail. Please call the Post to claim.

Hug

I am really trying not to sound to angry here. However, the people opposing the Highlands senior center are the most hypocritical folks to call 90272 their home. My family purchased their home in Pacific Palisades in 1971. The Highlands did not exist. It was the worst developer nightmare. No infrastructure, on a four-mile dead-end road, fire hazard to nowhere, no schools, etc. so they flooded the Palisades Village. How the developers crammed them through was an example of disregard for decent city planning and greediness with no concern for “coastal regulations.” There is a 58-unit on Sunset and PCH that is just about to open and have the OK with environmental laws, etc. And the most audacious issue for the Highlands snobs … an objection to a senior facility … ? You would think they were going to build a prison up there. The Highlands should have never been built in the first place, and now they are offended by the idea of a senior residential complex? Boo hoo hoo. Cut it out. A senior residential facility is a great idea. Since when does not caring for our aging family and neighbors not fit into your take on being decent residents of Pacific Palisades and the world in general?

Hug II

I live near the proposed senior facility and I cannot tell you how often I hear the screeching of brakes and blaring horns. This intersection is not the right place for this facility.
