Shooting in Burbank


The Toluca Woods/Lake part of Burbank is one of the nicest, most peaceful neighborhoods in town. However, early Wednesday morning, a woman was shot dead in the doorway of her home on Jacaranda. The shooters were caught shortly thereafter and have already been arraigned. Here's the Burbank Leader article. I've been told that this was an organized crime-related event. How sad for the victim, her family, and the community.

Jacarandas are back in bloom



Ah, the Jacarandas are in bloom again. To me, the lavender blossoms are the first sign of spring...no, summer, no, June gloom season here in the Southland. For great vistas of lots of Jacarandas, drive down Glenoaks towards Glendale or up Kenneth to Burbank.
