Your Two Cents’ Worth

Topanga

I am feeling sorry for our neighbors in Topanga, with access largely cut off due to the TCB landslide. I think that community members who are able should rally to support businesses by buying gift cards or making the trek to town to dine at restaurants and visit shops. It may be more of an effort for now, but well worth it to save such a treasured jewel of a town.

Stop Signs

On any given day, one can sit at the Garden Cafe and marvel at the ability of Palisadians to ignore stop signs. You can get “lunch and a show” sitting at the restaurant’s corner of Alma Real and La Cruz and enjoy an entire meal without seeing a single driver stop at any of the three stop signs. Of course, when children are at one of the many schools, libraries, and recreation centers located steps away, they have to slow down and occasionally bring their vehicle to a stop because hitting someone might become an unwelcome delay. Not that the pedestrians are much better. They often have their heads down on their phones or drive electric scooters and bicycles on the sidewalks.

90th Birthday

Happy Birthday to all those who attended the PPWC 90^th Birthday!

Community

I have to say it is nice to see the involvement of the community in local issues. It isn’t something to take for granted, not every community is as invested or involved.

Patrick’s Roadhouse

I sure hope Patrick’s Roadhouse is able to stay on PCH! It’s disheartening that restaurants are still facing the effects of the pandemic.

Webby Award

I loved seeing Philip Springer win the Webby Award. What a great accomplishment on top of all of his other amazing accomplishments. Talent abounds!

Gourmandise

I am feeling inspired to take a class at the Gourmandise School in Santa Monica. I like to think I know what I am doing in the kitchen but sounds like I have a lot to learn.
