Lots of goings on going on

- We had our first meeting of the Atwater Village Neighborhood Council last week, and according to the Friends of Atwater Village, all went well. Thanks for keeping tabs on us, FAV - I look forward to working with you.

- I can't seem to find any info online, but tomorrow, November 15th at 6pm, is the annual "Turkey Shoot" at Chevy Chase park. Don't worry, no turkeys will be harmed. Except for the ones that we're giving away. But they were already harmed. Humanely, assuredly. In any event, it's a fun night for the kids, who play basketball to win a Thanksgiving turkey.

- Miles has an excellent blog that has some excellent news about more fun businesses opening up on Glendale Blvd. A boutique? Another Vietnamese restaurant? MON DIEU!

- As always, Newbie keeps us all up to date for all the happening happenings.

- The Atwater Village Neighborhood Council is looking to appoint a few more council members. Interested? Let me know!

Halloween round-up

My fellow AVNC board member, Luis Lopez, documents the great success that was Trick or Treat on the BOOlevard. Look at all those cute kids! Great work, everybody. Sorry I couldn't be there.

Here's my very cute personal Halloween story. My fiancé and I were going to a small gathering in Montrose last night, but I felt terrible that I wouldn't be there to hand out candy. We compromised by leaving a bowl full of candy on our doorstep. It certainly occurred to us that we come home to find that the bowl would have disappeared along with all the candy, but I had faith in our Atwater Village kiddos. We came home to find that indeed, people had taken a lot of the candy, but not all of it, and that the bowl was safe and sound.

We raise good kids here in Atwater Village, methinks.
