Looking Forward by Ted Bellamy
Back in the 50s, we had a neighbor down the street who bought a new car every year. A proud, lonely, angry man, Robert would drive slowly down the street every Sunday, honking his horn and waving at each of us poor saps doing yard work. In 1958 or 59, I don't remember which, he bought himself a new Chrysler Imperial. It was a magnificent hunk of Detroit steel - nearly 20 feet long, with [...]

Dear Editor, I remember untrue statements made by Mr. Jeff Cooper in a City Council meeting of November 11, 2008. The stating of incorrect facts were an attempt to justify asking the council to not waste its time and money to enforce an agreement, which was set up to protect my neighborhood.

So here is not only a lesson for parents to teach them how to vote, but to let them know how they can be very influential in our [...]

Baby Collin Update – Little Boy Mending Well
After asking the Culver City Moms Club to help us with supplies for Baby Collin, Crossroads was overwhelmed with supports, clothes, toys and diapers. Thank you again for all of your help!

LAUSD Permit Students on the Budget Radar
The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) has revised its policy on the issuance of inter-district permits. The permit program has traditionally allowed parents the ability to have their children attend schools outside of the District’s boundaries. Under the current policy, LAUSD loses approximately $51 million each year. “Just about every school district in the Los Angeles area [...]
