More Halloween like weather for Burbank. Today’s cool temps and mostly cloudy skies will turn even gloomier tonight with more clouds, a chance of showers, and a full eerie glowing moon. Perfect time for the creatures of the night to come out. Last night in Burbank, there were plenty of the spooky-kind at the opening of the “Nightmare at the Museum” attraction. […]

When I dropped by the beleaguered Grand View Memorial Park Cemetery on Glenwood Road in Glendale last Friday, a bunch of fresh flowers were sticking in the closed gate. Today, visitors will be allowed inside Grand View and can bring flowers to place on the grave sites of friends, relatives, and loved ones. Grand View will be open from noon and until […]

Later in the afternoon, much smaller crowds clustered in Glendale on street corners, in restaurant doorways, wherever they thought they might catch a glimpse of the presidential motorcade. Yet, from what I observed, the Glendale crowds […]

The Mega Millions lottery jackpot just got super-sized. No one matched all of the winning numbers in last Tuesday’s draw, so the jackpot blew-up again. It’s now hovering at around $101 million.

Adults as well as kids are gearing up for the haunting night of October 31. While you’re preparing to get your “spook on” the Food and Drug Administration has a few guidelines to keep in mind.

More showers with a chance of thunderstorms in Burbank and most of the Southland, today. Last night, I was out on the freeways and noticed the big trucks had slowed down and only a few motorists were darting in and out of traffic as if the roads were dry. It has taken a few days of rainy weather for some drivers to get […]
