“Paranormal Activity 2” scares up big money at Box Office

“Paranormal Activity 2” really cleaned up at the weekend Box Office. The fright sequel debuted with an estimated $41.5 million–a huge opening for a horror flick. “Paranormal Activity 2” is now the new number one film in the country. The plot of “Paranormal Activity 2” is very similar to the first.  Instead of a couple, this time, a sinister force terrorizes a […]

Halloween is coming… and a Burbank haunted house opens

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. […]

President Obama’s visit to the Southland & quick stop in Glendale

More than 37, 000 gathered in a park at USC to see and hear President Barack Obama’s rousing get out the vote for the mid-term election speech yesterday. 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.

Mega Millions jackpot cracks the $100 million mark

  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. I get the feeling lottery tickets are going to be selling fast today, come rain or shine. Oh, last Tuesday’s game was not a total wash in […]

Stormy weather in the Southland

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 […]
