Cold and Crappy Weather We’re here...deep into May Gray. “You can always rely on that,” National Weather Service forecaster Steve Vanderburg. “It doesn’t matter what kind of winter we had. It can be wet or dry. In May and June, you know you’re going to get it.” Some are more direct...it’s “cold and crappy.” Be patient...June Gloom is still weeks away. |

Ready for More Condos
A
150-foot, 14-story Tower on 5th is being planned to
replace several one-story structures, including two 1923 Mission
Revival bungalow court buildings and Jean Claude Atelier’s salon on the
east side of Fifth at Walnut. Their
website says construction for 16 high-end residential units will
begin this month at 3445 Fifth Avenue. Surprisingly (or maybe
not)...the community is just now learning about it. Perhaps an interim
height ordinance is overdue. (It has
been endorsed by several organizations including the Hillcrest Town
Council,
Hillcrest Business Improvement Association, SOHO, Mission Hills BID,
the University Heights Community Development Corporation and Mission
Hills
Heritage). |
