Northbound lanes of Vine St. and the east sidewalk between Hollywood Blvd. and Yucca St. will be closed.

The cadets that are posted at the Scenic View on weekends are now handing this document to drivers of oversized commercial tour vans. It's a gentle warning that the City is preparing to back it up very shortly. Click on the image to download a pdf of this document. If we all have these ready to hand to the drivers, the word will get out and the presence of these vehicles on our narrow streets may diminish. If not, they won't be surprised when they are weighed, cited and receive fines for driving here.

Assemblyman Mike Gatto honors Beachwood Canyon resident Meg Hill, owner of Atwater Village's Golden Road Brewing, as the Small Business of the Year.

 

Assemblyman Mike Gatto (D-Los Angeles) honored local business owner Meg Gill and Atwater Village's Golden Road Brewing yesterday at the California Small Business Day Awards Ceremony in Sacramento.  The annual awards ceremony honors the contributions of small businesses to the State of California. 

"Meg Gill and Golden Road Brewing are an inspiration to us all," said Assemblyman Gatto.  "Her entrepreneurship creates jobs and helps other young women to believe that with hard work and perseverance, anything is possible."

 

Meg Gill, the co-founder of the Golden Road Brewery, was nominated by Assemblyman Gatto for her tireless dedication to building a successful small business that gives back to the community as much as it takes.  At 28-years-old, Gill is one of the youngest female brewery owners in the country, was recently named to Forbes Magazine's 30-Under-30, and her brewery is the largest craft brewery in Los Angeles County. But more importantly, in addition to building a vibrant small business, Gill and Golden Road co-founder Tony Yanow have also remained focused on building a vibrant Los Angeles.

"We're incredibly grateful for the support we've received from Assemblyman Gatto and the City of Los Angeles to help us, and fellow breweries, cultivate and drive demand for craft beer and its community-driven culture," said Gill.  "In under three years, Golden Road has grown to more than 150 employees and brings 20,000+ visitors a week to our restaurant and pub.  Being recognized as the Small Business of the Year will help us continue to foster our commitment to local organizations such as Heal the Bay and the Greenway 2020 project."

• Greywater Design and Installation workshop. We'll take you through the design process for a "laundry to landscape" (L2L) greywater system, which is the most popular, simple, and easiest-to-install residential system, and it doesn't require a permit (so long as basic guidelines are followed). Whether you install the system yourself, or you hire someone to assist you, this workshop will prepare you for the experience. You'll put together a "mock-up" of a real system, as well as get individual advice from experienced instructors about your site. You'll leave with a system design and materials list to construct your own L2L system. Note: You must have a flat or downwards sloping yard to irrigate with this type of system. 

• Watch a video of an L2L system on Ask This Old House.

"I don't want to live in the kind of world where we don't look out for each other. Not just the people that are close to us, but anybody who needs a helping hand. I can't change the way anybody else thinks, or what they choose to do, but I can do my bit."

Farewell, Nestor!

Our feline companion of 19 years crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday. He was the toughest cat we have ever had, surviving a coyote attack and various illnesses. He lived all 9 lives to the fullest and was always ready for a head bump and some snuggle time. The Reichenbach family was blessed by his presence, as was every one of our friends and visitors who became the object of his affection over the years. Till we meet again, we love you Nestor!
