What’s Going On in Our Neighborhoods On Friday, I attended the ribbon cutting of the new corral that the Angeles National Golf Club had installed for equestrians wanting to gallop over for a meal. It’s quite beautiful and spacious, easily able to accommodate 15 or more horses. Also at the ribbon cutting were fellow members […]

Let the Celebrations Begin As most of you know, CV Weekly is beginning its third year of publication with this issue, Vol. 3, No. 1. Without question, I wanted to celebrate this milestone, but the question was, how? Last year we hosted a lavish party on the grounds of St. Luke’s of the Mountains Episcopal […]

The Station Fire began as a small – and many think containable – fire in the Angeles National Forest on Aug. 26, 2009. The catastrophe actually started further east in Azusa. The Morris Fire […]
