Christy Marsden, the owner of Yoga Blend in Burbank, often cites Sutra 1.33 when reminding her students of one of the goals of yoga. It states, “If we can be pleased with others who are happier than ourselves, compassionate toward those who are unhappy, joyful with those doing praiseworthy things,...

Handy Therapy

prince@princegomolvilas.com (Prince Gomolvilas) — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 13:00:00 +0000

[This is a guest post by Phyllis Harb, a realtor who also publishes the L.A. Real Estate Blog.] I was off to a rocky start in 2009—mid-month I tripped over my 100-pound German shepherd and fractured my wrist. A quick trip to Seventh-Day Adventist, and I was casted and on my way. I have always...

A Glimpse Inside a Glendale Spiritual Landmark, March 14

nelliebly@sbcglobal.net (Nellie Bly) — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 17:41:00 +0000

Well, my social voyeurism rears its ugly head once again. Always on the lookout for opportunities to peer behind the curtain, as it were, I was quite excited to receive an e-mail from the Los Angeles Conservancy regarding a one-time-only tour. I’m a sucker for the phrase “one-time-only,” so I...

Lexus of Glendale: An Appreciation

prince@princegomolvilas.com (Prince Gomolvilas) — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 14:00:00 +0000

[This is a guest post by Phyllis Harb, a realtor who also publishes the highly ranked LA Real Estate Blog.] Who doesn't appreciate a luxury car? My first automobile was a used Maverick, and it was hideous! After several years of working as a loan processor, I was finally able to afford both a...

Love in Bloom: Ivy's Flower Station

kathykottaras@gmail.com (Kathy Kottaras) — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 21:00:00 +0000

Valentine's Day came only two weeks after my first date with Matthew, and, as young college students, we were both unsure about how to handle the holiday—to what extent we should declare our feelings, how to tiptoe around the "L" word. He chose a single, long-stem rose. I still have the flower,...

Italian With an Elegant Twist: Divina Cucina

noreply@blogger.com (Olivia J. Fox) — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 21:10:00 +0000

A friend accustomed to fine dining was visiting from London and wanted to take me to a "nice" dinner in my neck of the woods—Montrose. I'd heard good things about Divina Cucina on Verdugo Road, so we decided to give it a try. We sat on the covered patio by an attractive fountain, as the main...

An Oasis for Both Cars and Drivers: Central-Arden Chevron

nelliebly@sbcglobal.net (Nellie Bly) — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 19:15:00 +0000

When you move to a new town, you tend to seek out your local necessities so you can start feeling at home. In my book, these include the local post office, a nice market, a gym, and a smattering of reliable food options. Before I moved to Glendale, this short list never included a local gas...

Glendale Is for the Dogs: Parks, Vets, and a Walking Service

noreply@blogger.com (Mister B) — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 14:00:00 +0000

I take my dog Vanya out for three walks a day. She loves our Glendale neighborhood. Sometimes we trek from California Street up Jackson to Mountain Street (a nice slow incline begins once you're north of Glenoaks). Sometimes we just stay between Glendale Avenue (to our east), Brand Boulevard (to...

Here's a round-up of intriguing Glendale news stories from this past week: • What a difference a day makes! Immigration officials who denied a Glendale-based Armenian man an application for political asylum—because he was supposedly a day late in filing—have been forced to recount. •...

It's not like they gave me handbook when you were born!" Well, the Continuing Education program at Glendale Community College attempts to shrink...

Glendale Avenue Stores Bite the Dust: Longs Drugs and Blockbuster

prince@princegomolvilas.com (Prince Gomolvilas) — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 14:00:00 +0000

The closing of all Circuit City stores across the nation, including the one on Maryland and Broadway, is the latest big news of the worsening economy. (I'm generally an optimist, but 34,000 lost jobs can't be good.) This leaves downtown Glendale looking a bit bleaker—witness the gutted space where...

Bad Hair Day? Thu to the Rescue!

nelliebly@sbcglobal.net (Nellie Bly) — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 14:00:00 +0000

I have become vain. I'm not exactly sure when it happened, but I have a good idea as to why it happened. I've always considered myself an average-looking person. Cute, but not beautiful. I have healthy self-esteem, but I'm realistic when it comes to my looks. In fact, when my daughters turned into...

Since Shia LaBeouf lives in Glendale (do any of you celebrity stalkers know where?), I'm actually surprised we don't see more paparazzi pictures of him at Zankou Chicken or Michael's or anywhere else, really, around town. Well, alas, the star of Transformers, Eagle Eye, and Indiana Jones and the...

On Being a Nosy Neighbor With Impunity: Hoover Tour of Homes

nelliebly@sbcglobal.net (Nellie Bly) — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 20:00:00 +0000

I confess: I'm a social voyeur. I love glimpses into different lifestyles, from polygamists to swingers to priests and nuns and families with litters of children. This is my only vice and I feed it whenever I can, so imagine my delight when I heard about the Hoover Tour of Homes. You mean, rich...

Christmas Is Over, Glendale!

prince@princegomolvilas.com (Prince Gomolvilas) — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 14:00:00 +0000

Not to put a damper on your holiday spirit, but it's time to let this year's Christmas tree go. Unless you plan to nurse it in your backyard, you should let the city recycle your tree, which it will do between now and January 16. According to the City of Glendale website: Single-family residents...
