LAPD ALERT: PEOPLE DRESSED IN SERVICE CLOTHING SUCH AS THE DWP WHO KNOCK AT YOUR DOOR.

The activity is consistent with door knock burglars, say police who ask the public to report observations.

Another Healthy Tip from Max!:

 

Did you know that your diet can override genetic predisposition to various disease?

 

If you believe the old adage, "You are what you eat", then make it your motto! On a daily basis try including fruits such as avocados and berries, vegetables including the dark green ones, nuts, whole grains, and fish. These are the heart healthy, body healthy foods that will help to prevent premature aging, gain energy, and help you feel the splendor that only overall good health can bring!

"Follies" at the Ahmanson Theatre - songs from long ago

 

May 3rd-June 9th - Starring Jan Maxwell, Victoria Clark, Danny Burstein, Ron Raines and Elaine Paige.

When former members of the "Weismann Follies" reunite on the eve of their theatre's demolition, two couples remember their past and face the harsher realities of the present. Containing such well-known songs as "Broadway Baby," "I'm Still Here," "Too Many Mornings," "Could I Leave You?" and "Losing My Mind," "Follies" echoes the songs, exuberance and romance of the vaudeville days between the two World Wars.
