Home Decorating
Thank you for sponsoring another decorating contest. Perhaps you can request people not use the faux spider webs. They look great but are very damaging to birds and wildlife. Suggestion: next year you can include a “green” category and people can win that category and other categories as well.
‘Avenue Q’
Pali High’s fall production of “Avenue Q” is an absolute delight to watch—uplifting, funny, and professionally presented—the music, staging, choreography and puppetry performed by the students was astonishing, and of Broadway caliber. Everyone worked so hard to bring musical theater back to Pali’s Mercer Hall so don’t miss it! It plays for one more weekend and is such a fun and great way to support the school and our talented students, teachers, families and support crew! To quote the play, “It’s only for now!”
Aircraft Noise
Aircraft noise is only one of our local noise pollution problems. Wednesday night motorcycle riders have increased their numbers and noise levels. It’s past time for the LAPD to show up and do some enforcement. Palisades High School is broadcasting its passing bells and daily announcements onto the football field. Neighbors for blocks around are getting a very intrusive earful. Is there no sound engineer talent at the school to remedy this?
Library
The Post reached out to the LA Public Library Public Information Office (323)8893261 several months ago. It’s concerning that they have still not responded. I went to the website and took their 3-minute patron survey. The last question allows you to comment/make a request. You can also call the PIO and leave a message.
(Editor’s note: The Post has reached out to the LA Public Library PIO twice and received a response both times—though one response came in past deadline. The most recent update from PIO Peter Persic regarding Palisades Branch Library is: “We’re still looking at the end of the year for the opening. I’ll let you know when we have a date.)
Phones
Mobile phone use while driving. There is a security officer from a local company that is always using his cell phone with one hand while driving. Every time I see this officer over the course of 10+ years he is on his phone. I feel less safe as a pedestrian and bike rider because of him.
Cats
As an animal lover, it warmed my heart to see that family reunited with their cat after such a long time away. I hope it gives hope to other families who I see posting on Nextdoor and social media about their missing fur babies. There is hope yet!
