Porta Via Palisades to Host Fundraiser | Palisades Village

Porta Via Palisades will host a fundraising breakfast to help raise money for a landscaping project at Los Angeles Fire Department Station 69 on Nov. 3 from 8 to 11 a.m.

Porta Via will serve an array of breakfast items, including Grand Marnier French Toast, Porta Via Scramble and more—one day before the restaurant begins serving weekend brunch to the public.

Firefighters from Station 69 will be on hand to cook pancakes for guests, and guests will have a chance to get behind the wheel of a fire truck, pose for pictures with firefighters and meet Sparky the firefighting dog.

The cost is a tax-deductible donation of $100 per person or $250 for a family of four. Reservations can be made at supportlafd.org/fire-station-69-pancake-breakfast-brunch-fundraiser.

Attempted Armed Invasion | Santa Monica Canyon

The Palisadian-Post previously reported that a burglary took place at a residence in Santa Monica Canyon on Oct. 6, where $12,000 worth of property was stolen. The intruder was caught on security cameras and identified as a 20-something, African-American male wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and pink sneakers.

A second incident occurred on Oct. 11 at a home on La Mesa Drive, less than two miles from the aforementioned burglary. Donning his pink shoes, this same man was captured on outdoor security footage—this time wearing a white hooded sweatshirt and in possession of a handgun. The homeowner filed a police report.
