Preferred Parking
As the Caruso project nears completion, I think that all Palisades residents should receive a “P” sticker to be placed on our car bumpers. This sticker should allow all Palisadians FREE parking in the new lot and it would also let people know that indeed this car belongs in the Palisades!
Plastic
I love Gelson’s but I wish they’d use less plastic in the produce section. The plastic just ends up in our oceans or landfills.
Canyon Construction
The Marquez Canyon looks like a building site and I assume it is about to become one. There have been several days of core sampling and digging, and now extensive brush clearing at what might be the property line. Who owns the Canyon now and what is the intended use?
Nursery
The perfect idea for the vacated Norris Hardware is an Orchard Supply with home and garden products! We miss old Yamato Nursery that used to live where Village School is now. It was wonderful to have a nursery in the Palisades, as well as a hardware store. And, even better, they use the nursery space for sale on Temescal as a satellite to the Sunset store for larger and exotic trees, shrubs, ground covers, etc. The Palisades and the trades that help us need a supply store!
Park Noise
Regarding the front page Anderson .Paak article on the Friday hip-hop concert in Gateway Park: There seemed little regard by the park as its poor choice to declare this natural canyon a hip-hop concert site, complete with over-the-top noise levels, strobe lights and the overall effect of a blitzkrieg unleashed in this otherwise quiet canyon park. The noise level was so loud, it interfered with the opening night of Theatre Palisades’ “Write Me a Murder”; One wonders what the impact must have been on the park’s mule deer, raccoons, weasels, coyotes, weasels, squirrels, and countless smaller creatures and birds. This publically sponsored park should not allow such an environmentally damaging effort to happen again.
Online
Thanks, Post. Great paper. Does Caruso know that in the U.S. they’re closing half the shopping centers in favor of computer shopping?
