As more and more people take the opportunity to directly influence their communities, neighborhood groups are emerging as an essential tool for community empowerment. The Neighborhood News is starting a new column called Leaders and Activists. We ask local community residents with a history of serving their community, questions about their experience working in these groups and we present their views to you. Click here to read the thoughts that led me to this column. I also want to thank Teresa Ryhnes from the P.I.C.O. Neighborhood Council for planting the seed of the idea for the column.

Seen On the Scene focuses on the Little Ethiopia Festival on Fairfax to our west, the Greek Festival at St. Sophia’s Cathedral on Normandie to our east and the opening of the Charmette Bonpua SafeSkate Park at Rancho Cienega. click here to see those pics
WAHA had its annual Cemetery History Tour at the Angelus Rosedale Cemetery on Washington and Normandie. Click here to read the review and see those pics.
We also welcome the Little Ethiopia community to the TNN family. Check out their ad in Restaurants. A great neighborhood place to park, stroll and eat.
We also welcome a new, classy, local hangout, PIPS Pizza, Salad and Pasta, on La Brea just above Pico. Click here to check out our review.
So sit back, enjoy a cuppa joe at one of our local restaurants and get to know your neighborhood!
