The National Weather Service says rain is falling at a quarter to a half an inch an hour and that could increase to an inch per hour by nightfall. The […]

Rain, lightning, and thunder in Burbank

  A lot rain falling in Burbank this morning. Just before 9 a.m. lightning flashed across the sky, followed by rumbling thunder in B-town. The calendar says it’s the first day of spring. It still feels like winter. This Pacific storm is pounding the entire Southland and is expected to continue the assault through tonight. This storm is packing winds 15-to-30 mph with some […]

A late winter storm rolls into Burbank

As predicted, light rain began falling in Burbank early this morning. This late winter storm arrives with a full payload — some bouts of heavy rain, cold temps, and breezy conditions. Weather watchers are saying this storm will linger in the Southland — probably for several days. So get out the umbrellas, jackets, and boots again.

Regular gas breaks through the $4 barrier in the Media City

The price of regular gasoline has been hovering very close to that dreaded $4 a gallon mark for several days here in B-town. Today, for the first time, I saw stations with posted prices for regular at a little over $4 a gallon. I began reporting on the appearance of $4 a gallon gas in Burbank about two weeks ago. […]

Gas prices on a roll — we feel the pain in Burbank

Gasoline prices are going up fast. About a week ago, I paid $3.79 per gallon for regular. Today, at the same station I shelled out $3.97 for each gallon of regular I pumped into the P.T. Cruiser. I’m starting to take note of where I see the cheapest gas.  At these prices, checking around for the best deal before you buy is worth it. […]

Wonderful weather — but a change is in the air

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 […]

Burbank campaign news: Bric endorses Frutos, Waltman supports Gabel-Luddy

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 […]

$4 a gallon gas in Burbank

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 […]
