Can you see my new lawn in this picture?
I realize the post I just linked to is from almost 1 year ago, but it's amazing how much space we devote to our lawns.
Recent Rash of Shootings
April 2nd, 2008 § Leave a Comment
What's going on? It seams as though each day we're hearing the news of another shooting. Some of them are hitting a little too close to home (like last night's Shooting in Glendale). In recent weeks I've heard about shootings in East LA, the Los Feliz area, and Hollywood. I know these things happen all the time, and it's possible that I'm just more aware of them now, but it really seems these things are getting more and more frequent.
Now, on a related issue, I understand that the recent rash of shootings may not have a direct correlation to this, but do you really think it could work? I'm not holding my breath.
Cahuenga Peak and the Hollywood Sign

The news this morning is reporting that a 138 acre parcel of land adjacent to the HOLLYWOOD sign is now on the market. What's the cost of this prestigious mountain view you might ask. TWENTY-TWO MILLION! Yes, you heard that right. A ridiculous amount of money. But, then again, maybe the price tag will help ward off would-be developers. As a native angelino, the last thing I want to see are houses on the hills next to one of our most beloved landmarks. But, it truthfully wouldn't surprise me if it happened. Hopefully something can be worked out.
Here are a couple takes on the news.
