Spring is here: more sunny skies and warmer temps ahead

FLLewis/A Writers Groove Two walkers chat and keep up a brisk pace on Olive Avenue in Burbank recently. I’m seeing more and more exercisers pounding the street pavement and sidewalks as the temperatures rise. For the next few days, the highs are expected to be in the mid-70s to the 80s here.

Burbank City Council race heading into the home stretch
