Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive is always held the day before Mother's Day; I find it is an ideal time for a quick Spring Cleaning in the pantry. So if your letter carrier has not been by yet, grab a few bags, fill the bags up with any nonperishable food items that you no longer want or need. YAY!  A tidier cupboard!   On Saturday, May 8th, letter carriers in more than 10,000 communities will collect food items and deliver them to local food banks to help some of the millions of Americans, including an estimated 16.7 million children*, who face hunger every day. Since 1993, families have donated nearly 1 billion pounds of food to Stamp Out Hunger. You can help make this year our most successful ever.   Simply place bags filled with nonperishable food items like canned meats, fish, soup, jui...

Highland Park is one of the oldest communities in the city of Los Angeles. Highland Park developed from the Great Southern California Land Boom of the 1880s, from land purchased in 1869 at a sheriff's sale that ended years of litigation over a defaulted $3,500.00 loan that had been placed against the Rancho San Rafael in 1861. The Great Southern California Land Boom collapsed in 1888.  Many speculators went bankrupt as sales in new subdivisions slowed to a trickle.  Real estate people take note:  This is a good example of the cyclical nature of our real estate market. But this article is NOT about the History of Highland Park. When I wrote out the title "Remembering Highland Park in Northeast Los Angeles" I was simply pondering how I managed to leave Highland Park off the list of commun...

I do like this year's course: http://www.lamarathon.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/marathon%20official%20map.pdf From Dodger Stadium, through Downtown L A, to Echo Park and Silverlake through Hollywood, Westwood and Beverly Hills, and then on to the shores of the Pacific Ocean in Santa Monica. However, I think us folks on the Real Eastside need our own marathon ... Highland Park Avenues, Boyle Heights, East L A, City Terrace ...... I'm gonna think up a Real Eastside Marathon Route and post a map. (NO, I am not a Marathon runner, but I do like to watch it on TV!)

A 4.4 magnitude earthquake occurred this morning in Los Angeles at 4:04 AM.  No serious damage or injury has been reported.  For L A residents, this is relatively minor event. I do want to comment on a couple things, though: First, how quickly most of the regular locals jumped on Twitter and FaceBook to begin talking about the quake.  And the quality of the information reported. @HLP90042 and @militantangelino had the magnitude and epicenter maps posted on Twitter before KNX Radio.   And secondly, this came up in my conversation with @HLP90042, and I am intriqued enough to research further. My 90-something year old house has a two story tall arroyo stone chimney.  That chimney has survived numerous earthquakes without a scratch.  (Knocking on wood as I type that!!) @HLP90042 commented t...

So you have the feel to munch on something and desire some great place to eat while in Highland Park. Here are a few of my (Raphael’s) favorites to stop in and try for a sensational taste treat. Antigua Bread – Ave. 57 & Figueroa, across Chase Bank This recently opened bakery seems more like a cross between a panaderia and a Starbucks than an authentic West Indian bakery. Antigua Bread offers a variety of items from great sandwiches to Tex-Mex to tasty baked goods. Cinnamon Vegetarian Restaurant – Ave. 55 & Figueroa You can start with exciting salads and juices move to bright entrees fittingly skew Latin—minus the lard that makes refried beans so mouth-wateringly tasty. The menu also features a diverse selection of faux meat: Passable shrimp, carnitas and chorizo get mocked up in soy wh...
