Now playing: Silver Lake Meadow will be split in half!
Or will both sides be happy? Given a choice, I like to err on the negative side. I just talked with Julian Calvin-Harris at cb’s office yesterday. I haven’t written anything about the slk meadow here until now because a) I didn’t know enough about it, and b) I’m already working on behalf of gp, which is 800 acres as opposed to the 6 acres of slk Meadow. But, big news. Garcetti is actually in charge of that 6 acres, with only a thin wire fence separating him from his bff, Tom LaBonge, in charge of Ivanhoe; they both got “hundreds of letters,” protesting turning the Meadow into a public…

Silver Lake herons in an alternate universe.
Another Silver Lake, another heron. Photo COPYRIGHT by the talented Michael S. Palmer. Michael took this in St Helens, WA. But I can see snow mountains like this (for a few weeks a year) in Silver Lake, and if they leave the Meadow alone, this could be slk soon, if dwp does what it PROMISED!

For instance, I was delighted to find the signs about missing herons along the fence of slk one night, and went back to take pictures a couple of days later. It…

DWP is afraid, very afraid.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the LADWP received threats because of the bird balls in Ivanhoe. Two days after I blogged about the Corner o’ Rocks (TM) in slk that I thought was a graveyard, a guard started to park his car RIGHT there. For the first time. I had been running there for almost a year, and there had never been a guard there before; they are always at the guardhouse, or on the median, right between the 2 reservoirs. A couple times one of the guards would race along the inside road (you can see just the edge of it in the center of the photo) to get…

No linky-love from Gawker?
Hell hath no fury like a blogger scorned (and I wrote the book on hell.) To put it more gently, bloggers have the thirst of desert crawlers (it’s a cartoonist tech thing) when it comes to acknowledgments and links. So I was feeling sorry for myself, not having been linked anywhere in a couple of days, and I googled myself, for a change of pace. To my surprise, I saw my name listed in a Gawker blog. You may have heard of Gawker, one of the biggest blogs in the world. Or chain of blogs, actually. This was in Gizmodo, which I never heard of, but which is so so…
