Another warm and sunny winter day on tap for Burbank today. The sky is not that gorgeous clear blue it was yesterday — as some patchy clouds and light winds have moved into the Media City and the Southland. It will be cooler today with the high maybe in the low 70s. On Saturday the high reached 79 in B-town. Tonight, there’s […]

In last month’s Primary Nominating Election, City Councilman Gary Bric won re-election, Bob Frutos and Emily Gabel-Luddy collected enough votes to move forward to the General Election in a run-off for the one remaining vacant seat on the council. Final Primary Nominating Election […]

We all saw it coming — but the reality is still hard to handle. A couple of days ago, on Tuesday, I bought almost 7 gallons of regular gasoline for $25 at the Chevron station, Alameda Avenue and San Fernando Boulevard in Burbank. I paid $3.79 a gallon. At that time, Supreme stood at $3.99 a gallon. Today, Supreme is selling […]

A brief period of sunshine gave way to more dark clouds, then rain, and just before noon, hail in Burbank! The hard pebbles pounded the roof of my house and created white patches of quickly melting ice on the ground in the hillside area. The weather is freaky out there today. Don’t get faked out by a little sunshine — keep that umbrella handy.

At 1 p.m. light rain is falling in Burbank with the really heavy stuff predicted for later in the day and tonight. This cold storm will linger through tomorrow, bringing with it breezy conditions, frigid temperatures, and snow possibly in the foothills. The high today in the Media City — the mid-5os. Brrrr!! Stay dry and be extra careful out […]

The Mega Millions jackpot took another leap — this time to $76 million. On election Tuesday — no one managed to match all the correct digits: 15, 22, 23, 48, 55 and the Mega Ball 31. However, one California player did score all but the Mega Ball — and that ticket is worth $226, 991. The next draw is tomorrow, Friday, […]

A lot of sunshine in Burbank on this President’s Day, although, the temperature is warming up slooowly. The hillside area was awash in sunshine this morning, but my walk was still quite chilly. The temperature didn’t seem to bother some. I saw folks diligently cleaning up storm debris and one ambitious neighbor was out painting her house! Despite some lingering clouds– no rain in the forecast — at least […]
