We may forget, but we’re just a couple minutes from Universal Studios

Universal Studios

Just a stone’s throw away from the neighborhoods of Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Toluca Lake and Valley Village, we often forget about Universal Studios. I recently visited there after years of absence from it. The park has greatly changed since I was last there. There is the “Mummy” ride, which takes you on a roller coaster that is not only scary going forward, but even scarier going backward.

After the park, we went to a lovely dinner at Wolfgang Puck and for a naughty dessert at Sparky’s mini-donuts. I have been dreaming about them ever since. They make any other doughnut take like liver. The best ever!

You’re so close. Give Universal a second glance. I had a great day.

Our very own Toluca Lake Christmas Tree Lighting

Tree Lighting in Toluca Lake

If you attended Toluca Lake’s Christmas Tree lighting last Friday night you saw Burbank’s honorary Mayor Fritz Coleman from Channel 4, NBC, lighting the Christmas tree.

Many people came from near and far to see the beautifully decorated and holiday-lit stores, and to listen to the music. People were tasting the wonderful food samples from all over the world and tasted the various beverages, champagne, wine and cider!

It was an evening to remember, a moment from long ago when people still took time to leisurely walk – not drive –around the neighborhood and enjoy an old-fashioned holiday season.
