Still no Senior programs at the Palisades YMCA. It is listed as a sub-category with a two sentence…Read More description.

I've known Tamar since she started out as a white belt. She wanted me to join her in beginning…Read More Yoshukai Karate, something she took on only a few short years ago. She clearly now excels in this martial art form. "Ganbatte" Tamar and thanks for showing us how it's done!

I've gone to one CicLAvia, and it was a blast. Getting to ride around Downtown without having to…Read More worry about cars was like being a kid again. I can't wait to take my family for a spin to Downtown!

Jerry, although not original from here, became a true L.A. native. The truest, perhaps, than any…Read More luminary in memory. Like Randy Newman, he LOVED L.A. He reflected the dichotomous nature of Angelenos -- down to earth and hip Hollywood glamour. The chants in rival arenas when the Lakers played ("Beat L.A.") simply revealed their envy of Los Angeles and an erroneous image of L.A. as purely superficial and phony. True, Buss was flamboyant and a playboy. But he was also a self-made man, rising from his austere humble upbringing in Iowa where he rummaged trash cans for phone books to use as firewood to heat the tiny home he lived in with his mother.
I was fortunate enough to meet Jerry Buss at Chasens restaurant where I was celebrating my mom and dad's anniversary. I was shocked when mom walked right up to his table and introduced herself as his mother's hair stylist. I had no idea. "Is this your granddaughter?" she asked. No mom, she wasn't. And I hadn't the heart to inform mom of Buss's lifestyle.
We can only hope any sibling rivalry amongst the Buss children will be put to rest in the interest of Los Angeles ... and to honor the memory of the greatest owner in sports franchise history.

Thanks, Jerry, for giving L.A. such a GREAT basketball team all these years. We won't see the likes…Read More of you again. R.I.P.

Truly a nice man, very down to earth, did not flaunt his wealth. I was a news photographer covering…Read More the LA` sports scene, when Buss purchased the JKC sports domain we all asked who is this guy (none of us in the media had ever heard of him)?
He turned out be a blessing to the LA sports scene, he was approachable, taking time to converse with you and was always humble. Just a plain nice man. Unlike Cook he was always present at his teams games and did not sit in the owners box but among the ordinary fans. RIP Dr Buss your legacy will remain long after any of us have departed

of course bright lights at night are a good idea, but riding on a fast moving street at night (like…Read More Washington Blvd) with a lot of half drunk motorists isn't....I'd just take the sidewalk....

To answer your question, Glenn: No, I'm not trying to teach drivers a lesson. I'm merely trying to…Read More get home safe and taking responsibility for ensuring that I'm visible. And I'm VERY visible with two rear LED lights (one solid, one flashing) and a headlight that emits 150-350 lumens (bright enough to stand out amongst a bunch of car headlights), in addition to reflective patches on my bike, clothing and backpack.

I would also point out that bikes have been a fixture on the streets of Southern California for well…Read More over 100 years. They're hardly a new phenomenon. And no one will argue with you that people on bikes need to ride legally and safely. It's unfortunate what happened to you in Topanga Canyon; what that guy did was genuinely dangerous and stupid, and it sounds like he was a jerk to boot. I don't condone that type of behavior. I merely attempted to refute your original claim that people on bikes feel a unique sense of entitlement, or are the only road users getting a free pass from the police.

Steve and Lenny's Sports bar is the worst place to watch games. They are understaffed, the service…Read More is poor, the food is terrible, and the owner is arrogant and doesn't know a thing about running a restaurant or Sports Bar. This would be the last place that I would spend my hard earned money to watch a game!
