    But a 100% chance of your car being impounded. (That is, if you're unlucky to live on the parade route.)

    Perhaps GHSNC can refund the towing and impound fees? Or provide residents a parking lot for the day?

    Geez, get over it! Why not leave town for the day and do both yourself and all of us a favor!

    There's at least one in every crowd... Now, where is my lump of coal (I wonder if he would prefer anthracite or bituminous)...

    Well, we caught a few sprinkles at the start, but as we were finishing at about 4:00 p.m. the sun came out. I think it was a great parade!

    FACT: Every towing company with a city contract donated the statutory max to Greig Smith the last time he ran. And I'll bet they max out on their boy Mitch, too.

    So, who here has been bought off by the tow companies? Show of hands, please...

    All this circulating currency makes you wonder why no one at City Hall is passing a resolution calling on the state legislature to amend the vehicle code to permit vehicles to be relocated to nearby streets by tow trucks instead of being impounded.

    P.S. I'm a bituminous sorta fellow.

    Odd... You definitely strike me much more as a hard coal kind of guy...

Mike Spasoff is a tireless servant to this community -- at least for a few months out of the year -- and that's good enough for me. It's also more than good enough for the 600 trick-or-treaters he delights and terrifies with the elaborate, Disney-rivaling, pirate-themed yard display at his house on San Fernando Mission Boulevard (near Shoshone). When I was a kid, I used to always wish someone in the neighborhood would do something beyond carving a pumpkin. Fortunately, kids in Mike's neighborhood will never have to cope with that same unfulfilled sense of longing that I always had. What makes you want to invest the time, money, and resources into such an elaborate production? I can remember the magic of walking the streets of our neighborhood each Halloween and the excitement of finding a house that did something more than just a jack-o-lantern or a cardboard skeleton. My parents and I always made a special effort to do something extra but it wasn't until we moved to...

Starlet Visits Granada Hills!

Image
I typically don't do much reporting on crime stories unless something about them cracks me up (e.g. this one ), but I was excited to learn from The Associated Press that the "Starlet Bandit" just hit one of our local banks. Oooh, I love starlets -- especially when they visit Granada Hills! Judging by her surveillance camera snaps, I can see why this starlet traded casting calls for a life of crime; even full-figured gals have to pay the rent, and Hollywood is a tough town when you're not a size 0. Fortunately, on this side of the hill, she blends right in, and unlike L.A., Granada Hills is having a distinct starlet shortage, so I say, come on over! I only wish we had a local branch of Goldman Sachs she could heist.

Thoughts on Joe's Cafe and cancel culture

On June 1, 2020, the date when people planned to gather in Granada Hills to protest George Floyd's killing, fearful rumors began flying early. The protest was certain to be violent. The claims that it was planned as a "peaceful" protest was certain to be cover for looters. Some started spreading the rumor that "the organizers have cancelled the event," presumably with the hope of making that come true.  I spent that afternoon trying to debunk the myths that seemed designed to suppress the event from happening. Myth debunking has, at times during 2020, seemed like a full-time job for me, starting with my pointless and overmatched efforts to argue with "the pandemic is a liberal hoax" theorists. I still find it difficult to believe that my pleas for evidence-based reasoning would so often be dismissed as radical.  Yet I stubbornly cling to my insistence that without evidence to support them, beliefs are worthless.  On social media, I pled with fear-sprea...
