Growing Up in The Bluffs
If you were to draw a map of Pacific Palisades, the most strategic way to break it up would be into its characteristic neighborhoods. After all, the Palisades has 25-30,000 residents, a not-so-small community with a small town feel. A Palisadian describing where they live is as easy as naming a neighborhood such as The Alphabet Streets, the Riviera or the Highlands. Each neighborhood has its perks, such as the secluded, wooded vibe of Rustic Canyon or the larger-sized lots of the Riviera.
UCLA Palisadians Fight Back Against Strokes
Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of long-term disability in the United States. Approximately 795,000 people suffer from a stroke each year. Palisadians Pamela Nye and Dana Rivera are two key individuals fighting back against strokes’ debilitating effects at UCLA Medical Center Santa Monica’s Stroke Center.
Voices from the Street
After the California State Assembly passed the Start the School Day Later bill on July 12, Palisadian students may soon be blessed with a few more precious minutes of sleep.
A Man and His Art
Each Fourth of July, Palisadian David Russo sets up on the 50-yard line at Palisades Charter High School to draw the fireworks. This has become a tradition—Russo has created an image 17 out of the last 18 years. Russo is a renaissance man, working as an executive producer/creator of television shows as well as that artists behind his newest brand, What a Great Life. His career has evolved over the years, but creativity and passion remain at its center.
A New Face in Town
If you’ve seen someone walking around The Village with a hat and signature sunbrella in hand, you may have spotted the Palisades Branch Library’s new Young Adult Librarian Jessica Levy. Levy, who has worked as a children’s librarian since completing library school in 2011, served most recently as the children’s librarian at the Fairfax Branch Library in mid-city Los Angeles. She has also worked as a children’s librarian at the Fairview Branch Library in Santa Monica.
Dancing on the Pier
If you drive through Santa Monica on a summer Thursday night, you may witness thousands of people eagerly waiting on the beach with colorful towels, beach chairs and blankets. The sight is indicative of one of the most popular summer events in LA—Twilight Concerts at the Santa Monica Pier. On June 22, the 32-year-old series kicked off its first show of the summer with Khalid, a trendy R&B and hip hop artist.
Dollies Delivered to Malibu
Dollies Making A Difference, a Pacific Palisades-based nonprofit, has delivered stuffed Dollies and Teddy Bears all around the world, as far as Nepal, Mexico and even North Korea. Their latest stop was a bit more local: Malibu. For two weekends every summer, OUR HOUSE Grief Support Center hosts Camp Erin-Los Angeles for children ages 6 to 17 who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling or guardian within the past three years.
