Your Two Cents’ Worth

Caruso

In contrast to the Caruso Project lamentations in last week’s Web Talk, I am incredibly excited about our town’s revitalization. Ghost town or vibrant village with 40-plus new businesses? More restaurants, stores, movie theater? More choices? What could possibly be wrong with that? Thank you, Mr. Caruso! We can’t wait!  Very, very grateful!

Caruso II

For the Caruso Palisades Village: Who owns the apartments that are going in? The writer mentions apartments on the front page, but are they owned by a person, by the community or what?

(Editor’s note: Caruso.)

Caruso III

The Palisades Village project seems ready to receive electricity through a big box that, coincidentally, I am sure, blights the home of Caruso foe Ted Weitz. Was there no alternative route for the cabling? LA City planners seem a little too close to Caruso for us in the Village to be comfortable. I fear we may be too late to change anything here, but for a few bucks and a little more planning, Caruso could still prove to be a nice guy.

Election

Why did you spend so much time printing pages about a community council election that no one cares about? I recall that once, one candidate won with just eight votes. Total. When we have a family meeting we need more votes to decide what flavor jelly we are buying at Gelson’s. They don’t want to talk to the community, and we don’t want to talk to them. They are all fake news with no power. So just stop printing their pictures and feeding their egos.

Evictions

I was just at the farmers market and a group of tenants were there passing out flyers about how they’re being evicted from their homes by Palisadian Lisa Ehrlich. I was very moved from talking to some of the families. I hope Lisa does the right thing and stops the evictions.

Blooming Lovely

I wanted to thank the woman shopping at Ralphs on Saturday late afternoon who was so kind to give me one of the yellow roses from the last bouquet of yellow roses that she had just picked. I have a sick relative who specifically asked for a yellow rose to cheer her up in the hospital. I didn’t get your name but your act of kindness meant a lot to my relative and my family. Thank you.
