The indomitable Sherman Oaks Homeowners Association hosts the first Mayoral Debate of this General Election season tonight from 7:00pm to 8:30pm. And given Mayor Bass’ avoidance to debating other candidates in the Primary Election, this may be the only opportunity to see Raman and Bass on the same stage together. SOHA will be streaming the debate via Zoom, and LAist will be broadcasting it via 89.3FM.

A house fire broke out tonight around 11:30pm on the 5800 block of Monte Vista Street in Highland Park. LAFD Engine #12 responded from their firehouse three blocks away and almost instantly knocked down the fire that fully engulfed the front of the single-family home built in 1904. An elderly woman was rescued from the rear of the home, unconscious but alive.

Yes, the closure of Sunset Blvd is disruptive, but it sure is peaceful on the Sunset Strip without out all the cars. Repairs to the water main are finished, the sinkhole is being filled, and the roadway could be open as soon as Thursday morning.
Free show on 20 July, 2026 at The Roxy, West Hollywood, California.
I have an annual reminder that this week Spring items go on clearance sale. Lo and behold, the $47 bag of Scott’s fertilizer is now $14.97 (in Alhambra,CA.) The prophecy has been fulfilled.
After 35 years, the beloved Highland Park panaderia, Delicias Bakery at 5567 North Figueroa is no more. No official word, but after struggling for several years against the changing tastes of the neighborhood, the bakery that fed generations sits empty, the ovens are cold, and the sweet cinnamon sugar smell that filled the air every morning is gone.
Seven years ago, the owners daughter, Roxanne Sanchez took over the business and tried to adapt to the changing neighborhood by updating the baked goods, explaining the food menu, offering vegan options, and sharing the space with pop-up restaurants. Sadly, all the creative efforts, fundraisers, and relaxed rent in the historic Highland Park Freemason’s Hall was not enough to keep Delicias going. It will be missed.
Soccer fans gather at Sycamore Grove Park in Northeast L.A. for Kick It In The Park to watch Norway defeat Ivory Coast in the World Cup. Nearly a hundred years earlier, thousands gathered here to celebrate Norwegian Independence Day and hear the King of Norway, Olav V speak. (Today, they witnessed the new king of Norway, Erling Haaland score a goal.)
The party at Sycamore Grove continues today with a France Vs Sweden watch party at 2pm, then Mexico vs Ecuador at 6pm. A great day for the passion of the pueblo.
Closed 25 years ago. I appreciate the surviving bell bracket, and how the exterior wall lamps have been bastardized.
