Pit Bull attack Saturday night 1/14 at Echo Park/Baxter

About 11:30 pm friends dropped me off, and on the way home noticed a pit bull and another dog hanging around Elysian Elem. School. They warned one person walking their dog not to go that way, but meanwhile a woman walking an old Lab ran into them. The pit bull grabbed his jaws into the head of the Lab, and my friends stopped to help her. While one tried kicking the pit bull to get it to break off the attack, the other fended off the other from getting involved. When the kicking had no effect…

Despite Concern, City Sells Centinela and Washington Property to Regency Centers LLC

Posted by Scupine on February 20, 2012 at 6:00pm 0 Comments

Last Monday, the Culver City Council agreed to approve a commitment letter with Regency Centers Acquisition LLC / Red Barn for the sale of the city-owned property on the northeast and northwest corners of the Washington Boulevard and Centinela Avenue intersection for the development of a Market Hall.

The council was supposed to approve the commitment letter during its February 6 meeting, but during consideration of this item the council received public comment that raised concerns about Red Barn’s involvement in a project in the City of Hercules in Northern California. Since the February 6 meeting, city staff investigated the Hercules project and determined that there was nothing about Red…

The residents of Commonwealth Avenue in the Clarkdale section of Culver City have reason for joyousness.  The Ficus Trees were trimmed on Thursday!

IndieCade, Taste of the Nation, & The Culver City Car Show: Should They Be Saved?

Posted by Scupine on February 16, 2012 at 6:00am 0 Comments

Culver City Car Show

At last Monday's meeting, the Culver City Councilmembers debated whether the city should continue to help fund three major Culver City cultural events: IndieCade, Taste of the Nation, and the Culver CIty Exchange Club's Car Show. In the past, the city's redevelopment agency has helped fund these events, but with the state's recent elimination of these agencies, Culver City must decide whether funding should continue.

City Manager John Nachbar recommended against funding these events out of the city's discretionary fund but suggested that the city might waive permit fees and other charges. Ultimately, the council postponed a decision until city staff could discuss funding options with representatives from each of the events.

During the deliberations, Councilmember Jeff Cooper reasoned for the value of IndieCade and against Taste of the Nation, but Councilmembers Andrew Weissman and Christopher Armenta argued that the city had to be consistent in its…

AVPA Hosts Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles

Posted by Geoff Maleman on February 15, 2012 at 2:56pm 0 Comments

The Culver City High School Academy of Visual and Performing Arts (AVPA) hosted the Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles on Friday, February 10.  As part of their “Alive Music Project,” the GMCLA performed for over 500 students, including a dozen classes and nearly 200 AVPA students.  The chorus performed several songs, including “Imagine” and “True Colors.”  The presentation included personal stories from several members of the chorus, sharing their experiences as gay men, overcoming prejudice, and how much joy they get from singing.

 

Founded over 30 years ago, the GMCLA has used music to overcome prejudice.  While every year over 85% of LGBT students in American schools experience physical or verbal abuse, the new FAIR Education Act of 2011 was passed in order to help combat bullying of LGBT students.  The act supports the inclusion of LGBT individuals and their contributions to American history and modern…

Rancho Park Mail Delivery

I'm not new to Rancho Park, but I am new to the route around the mall. I'm sure you all have seen me walking around in your neighborhood. I just want you all to know that the mail carriers in your neighborhoods have been put through so much. Honestly, I think the people making these drastic changes in the postal service are doing it purposely to get what they need from Congress. It's all political and we the mail carriers are the frontline....so we get the bulk of complaints.
