    The only thing I really care to hear Mitch speak about is his leaving office (I can dream, can't I)... The man is a real sleaze bag! I truly do miss Greig.

    They serve dinner? Who's paying for that? How about the polo shirts I saw a neighborhood council member wearing while eating from a food truck the other day? Is clothing worn on personal time an acceptable use of tax dollars?

    This should be corrected to reflect that Mitch Englander will be at the GHNNC meeting, not GHSNC. Thanks.

    No, I've had a number of ecounters with both Mitch and Greig, and I have found Mitch to be much sleazier and not nearly as trust worthy... I'd take Greig in a heartbeat over Mitch!

    To Jersey Mike's - I'll send Sue to speak to you about a deal. We love to shop local and I'm sure you love to give back to your community. To anonymous asking about dinner - The NC pays for it with your tax money. Each NC gets $40,500 a year to spend to let the community know that we are here. It is used for Outreach, meetings, an office, and food. If we're going to have meetings at 6:30 - 9:30, the least we can do for our stakeholders is to make sure they have something to eat. If you're bothered by that, I invite you to attend one of our meetings and tell us at Public Comment what your thoughts are about food at meetings and anything else on your mind.

    I doubt it was one of GHNNC's board members eating off a food truck, but we do all have the same color of green polo shirts so it's hard to tell. When we have an Outreach event, it's nice to be able to tell who the board is from their shirts. That's another comment for the meeting during the Public Comment portion of the meeting!

    Please come. We encourage Public Comments from our stakeholders and we don't limit you to 2 minutes!

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

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

Even XXX Stars Need TLC

"I've never watched a pornographic movie in my life," says Bobi, genial lab tech at the modest, quiet office of AIM Health Care on shady White Oak Avenue. When I press her, incredulous that someone who works in a health care office that caters to the needs of adult film actors has never been exposed to that industry's primary product, she sticks by her story. "They did have one on at my bachelorette party, but I didn't really look at it, and now you couldn't pay me to watch one. I know everyone in the industry, and it would almost be like watching a video of my kids having sex. I wouldn't want to do that." When she puts it that way, it makes sense. Bobi tells me that some clients of the clinic even refer to her as "Mom," and when I overhear her soothing a nervous patient on the phone ("Don't worry honey; chlamydia is a bacterial infection and it can be cured with medicines") I understand why. It's actually rathe
