Whether it’s a retro-set or a high-tech big screen model, most Americans prefer getting their news from TV, according to a recent Harris Poll. The survey was taken between August 13-20, 2012 and released last week. Around 2,300 adults took part. Sixty-eight percent expressed an interest in keeping up with news events. The figures from that poll showed 50 per […]

IN OUR OPINION We have lived in Burbank for many years. It’s a shame our city council members, minus Dr. David Gordon, are “JOYRIDING” their way into city debt. Borrowing and spending for much we do not need. All at the expense of this community. Many, who do not VOTE, should, especially in this next election. If we allow the […]

The month of October kicked off with extreme heat in Burbank. The Media City fried with triple digits — reaching a blistering 106 degrees today. At 5 p.m. this evening it was still 102! The rest of the Southland is suffering from this heat wave as well. The dry, hot heat has increased the fire danger, too. A gradual cooling trend […]

When we tell an old story, we start with the phrase, “A long, long time ago.” But, Koreans begin like this, “A long, long time ago, during the era of the Koryo dynasty.” The current name, Korea, is derived from the Koryo, as Korea was first known to the Western world by that name. It is a story about 1,000 years […]

A sizzling Sunday in the Southland and according to the forecast it’s just the first of some seriously hot days. The high is expected to reach at least 99 today in Burbank with triple digits predicted through Thursday here. Yeah, the calendar says it’s fall — but apparently summer is still clinging to the Southland. Get out the sunglasses […]

This photo is making the rounds on cellphones and the Internet. These folks really got an eye full when Endeavour, setting on top of that Boeing 747, flew by. An incredible photo. A priceless memory.

I don’t know a delicate way to put this so I’ll just bottom line it and ask, “… what the blank is going on at Burbank City Hall?” Lately, a lot of the decisions and actions by city officials have been very confusing or down right weird. Let’s start with City Manager Mike Flad. On his way out the […]

Outgoing Burbank City Manager Mike Flad has put the brakes on the search for a permanent police chief. A news release about the decision was sent out late this afternoon from Public Information Officer Drew Sugars. A lot of changes at City Hall lately and many of them strange and confusing, however, this move makes plenty of sense. Here’s the […]

The 64th Primetime Emmy Awards are history. Sunday’s telecast of the ceremony was ho-hum — in fact, some of the jokes and failed gags were down right painful to watch, so the writers responsible should hope they are forgotten real quick. Favorite moments: Julianne Moore picking up best actress in a miniseries for her performance as Sarah Palin in “Game […]

Terrific photos of the historic flyovers of the the Southland by Endeavour, while perched atop a huge 747, still coming into Media City Groove. Here are some of the images captured by frequent contributor/freelance photographer, Terje “Terry” Canavarro. Terry took his camera to the top of Burbank Peak, also known as “The Wisdom Tree” to see Endeavour’s flyby. He says […]
