Planned Power Outage in parts of Marina Del Rey, CA - 02/28/12 09:25 PM
 
Planned Power Outage in parts of Marina Del Rey, CA
Planned power outages give the opportunity to complete ongoing maintenance and upgrade the grid with newer materials and technologies. It is part of Southern California Edison’s long-term plan to help revitalize Southern California’s power grid. This is all good for the long term benefit of better service for the increasing demand that the growing Marina Del Rey population needs.
What does that mean in the short term for us consumers of electricity in the Marina? For me specifically since I work out of the House mostly, either a relaxing day … (12 comments)

Bringing back the Fourth of July Fireworks in Marina Del Rey, CA.
As most of you know, last year we did not have Fireworks in Marina Del Rey. The culprit was the County’s Budget Crisis. There is a solution, just like the New Years Fireworks were sponsored by local business people, the Fireworks Show could be done for the Fourth of July as well.

The cost of the show is about $115,000.00 and the Community & Marketing Services Division of Beaches and Harbors is handling this great cause of bringing back the Fireworks for the Fourth of July. There are … (13 comments)

Bankers & Politicians need to get with it, Period! - 02/23/12 02:12 PM
Bankers & Politicians need to get with it, Period! Will the Senate Approve the Bill to expedite Shorts Sales to 75 days or sooner?
The Answer to this question is not a simple Yes as common sense would dictate. Last year there were at the minimum of six bills related to short sales and none made it beyond committee level.

 Last week Senator Lisa Murkowski,(R)-Alaska introduced a bill that the Short Sale request of a home owner must be replied to within 75 days. In other words approve, deny or request to extend the response period up to an … (19 comments)

Playa Vista Residents vs. the Los Angeles Bureau of Street Services
Home Owners of the Planned Urban Development are about the battle the City of Los Angeles with good reason. The Parking Enforcement has been busy coming around giving Tickets to vehicles parked in this great self contained community. If you are not a resident you would say “so what is the big deal”? Well they are ticketing the vehicles on Street Cleaning Days. Again you might say “…well it is street cleaning day and the vehicle owners should know better than to park….”

The Beverly Hills City Sign (Logo) photographed on a Cold Winter Afternoon! If anyone ever did studies of which City Sign is the most photographed, they probably would discover that it is the Beverly Hills sign. I have lived in quite a few large cities such as Boston, MA and I have never see so many tourist take pictures of the City Sign as they do of the Beverly Hills Sign.
There are visitors who fall in love with Beverly Hills and soon after their first visit, they come … (11 comments)

Century City- Westwood Condominium Market Report for January 2012 - 02/18/12 03:59 PM
Century City- Westwood Condominium Market Report for January 2012
Century City-Westwood Condominium Market Report for January 2012 while a bit late for me, never the less it is published before the main stream media’s data comes out. While the short term economic picture may be mired with uncertainty many indicators point to the financial strength of most companies, hence that will translate to consumer confidence and ultimately will reduce the high unemployment figures. That of course will help the Real Estate Activities. That in turn will help the economy.

So with that said let me recap December 2011’s numbers as … (8 comments)

Marina Del Rey Condominium Market Report for January 2012
The Marina Del Rey Condominium Market report is a bit late this month. Nevertheless the information is important and close to two months ahead of the Main Stream media’s reporting of the information.
While the short term economic picture may be mired with uncertainty many indicators point to the financial strength of most companies, hence that will translate to consumer confidence and ultimately will reduce the high unemployment figures. That of course will help the Real Estate Activities. That in turn will help the economy.

One Phone Call could save the Life of a California Shelter Animal! Make the Call!
Did you know that right now under the Hayden’s Law, animals in shelters must be kept alive for reclamation or adoption for at least 4-6 days after they have been found? This is not a long time for the animals. Many people think that “Shelter” is what it sounds like the reality California is NOT a “No-Kill Shelter State”. IF the animals are not reclaimed by their owners or are not rescued by an “Animal Rescue Organization” or someone who wants to adopt a pet and … (20 comments)
