The Jewel City! Eight Jewels in Glendale’s Crown…

When it comes to making the Montrose Shopping Park a better destination to enjoy, the powers that be at the City of Glendale are all in! City Manager Scott Ochoa, local resident and director of Economic Development Phil Lanzafame, director of Public Works Rubik Golanian, director of Communications Tom Lorenz and others joined us bright and early at our MSPA board meeting to discuss everything from trash removal, painting the town, landscaping the parking lots, bus lines, safety, and even social media tips. We thank you for your valuable partnership and appreciate all you are doing for the little, sparkly jewel of Montrose!

Tomorrow is national chocolate milkshake day and Mark Pedersen, owner of Paradis Ice Cream, is taking $2 off your chocolate shake when you bring in this article on Friday. You haven’t lived until you’ve had their luxury shake made with four scoops of homemade chocolate ice cream from fine imported chocolate mixed with ice cold milk, topped off with fresh whipped cream, and finished with Belgian chocolate sprinkles. A gourmet sugar rush for sure. It pays to read CV Weekly! What a joy it is to have Paradis Ice Cream in our town!

• Milkshake is three scoops of chocolate ice cream mixed with ice cold milk. It’s topped off with fresh whipped cream and Belgium chocolate sprinkles.

• A luxury shake is the same deal but with four scoops of ice cream, so its thicker in the consistency.

Start your weekend early in the Montrose Shopping Park and “Fall in Love With Montrose!” Yes, we are headed into fall but it’s still officially summer. Come for the shopping and stay for dinner with strolling musicians and free concerts from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Check out the brand new La Perla Home Store where Victori Ana used to be. It looks fabulous! Get inspired for Halloween at Mountain Rose Gifts, Twigs & Things and Montrose Candy Co. So much fun to be had! www.shopmontrose.com
