The Year of the Fire Horse?!
Bring it, 2026!

2025: Year of The Snake
You shed, released, and cleared space. What was heavy and fake fell away. What was real remained.

2026: Year of The Horse
You move and rise with confidence. Doors open. Momentum returns. You’re finally walking in the direction that feels right.

2025 helped you let go.
2026 will help you step in.

More specifically, 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse. Fire brings the heat, adding passion and power to your moves. Meaning you’ll step forward boldly, bravely, and unapologetically. 2026 isn’t about chasing.
It’s about arriving.

This is the first meeting in a very important fire education and evacuation program. Valley Bureau Chief Moore created this program. He was appointed to LAFD Fire Chief last month. Chief Moore is dedicated to fire safety in the hills and will oversee this program as Chief of the Los Angeles Fire Dept.

This is a first and a pretty big deal for our community!

See you at Wonderland at 7pm!

Happy 80th Birthday to Neil Young.

Neil is one of the most prolific song writers to call Laurel Canyon home.

Neil wrote some of Buffalo Springfield’s greatest hits in the little pine cabin he was renting from astrologer to the stars, Kiyo Hodel, at 8451 Utica. Songs like Mr. Soul, Broken Arrow and Expecting to Fly are among the songs Neil wrote on pieces of newspaper, now lost to the Universe.

Neil met his longtime band, Crazy Horse, at parties at bassist Billy Talbot’s house in Laurel Canyon. Within weeks of meeting Crazy Horse, they were in the studio recording the album that would become Everybody Knows This is Nowhere.

We are nearing our Robocop era.
Last night the following message was shared from Captain Peters, LAPD Hollywood:
A message from Captain Peters, LAPD Hollywood:

Tomorrow morning the LAPD will begin using Drones as First Responders (DFR) in Hollywood Area. Drones flown by LAPD Officers will assist patrol officers in responding to radio calls, reducing response times and increasing the Department’s ability to more effectively address public safety issues. Anyone involved in a call for service where a DFR is involved is encouraged to send Captain Peters an email with feedback on the experience.
