One of the many things I love about living in the Crescenta Valley is the amazing amount of free activities available to its residents. For instance, how many of you knew that there is a weekly car show here, with a healthy mix of over 100 hot rods, vintage cars and exotics, that’s free to […]
From the desk of the publisher – Robin Goldsworthy One reason I love living up here is the sense of community. However, every now and then I do venture outside our valley. Last Saturday night was such an occasion. My husband Steve flies helicopters and on Saturday evening we were invited to Santa Paula airport […]
Excuse me while I loosen my belt. Last Sunday’s annual Taste of Montrose event was held along Honolulu Avenue. More than 20 restaurants participated in this fundraiser for CVHS Prom Plus. Every type of food – and dessert – imaginable was served up. This is one of my favorite fundraisers. It gives me a chance […]
I know you’re out there. I’ve seen you on Foothill Boulevard. And Honolulu Avenue. And Verdugo, Ramsdell, La Crescenta, and Ocean View. I’ve seen you on just about every street in town, in fact.

On the Friday before the last Saturday of any given April, the northbound freeways out of southern California are choked with SUVs and pickup trucks towing boat trailers and loaded to the gills with work-weary fishermen headed for the same general destination – the streams, reservoirs and lakes of California’s Eastern Sierra mountains. If you […]
Teddy Roosevelt in his famous “Man in the Arena” speech comments on the duties of citizens in a democracy: “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who […]
I ask your forgiveness if I nod off while writing this week’s column. (Or even worse, if YOU fall asleep while reading it.) That’s because my wife and I have just had the long-delayed, much-anticipated, highlight-of-the-year pleasure of having our son, his wife and our three grandkids (ages 20 months to 4 years) stay with […]
