When the California Incline closed for reconstruction some worried that detoured traffic would clog our neighborhoods. While local traffic has never seemed more congested, it is unknown if the closure was the reason. This week may give us an answer. At 9 a.m. Thursday, September 1, 2016, the Incline opens with a ribbon-breaking ceremony, music, food and the opportunity to walk the new road before it opens to vehicular traffic at 5 p.m. Who knows, at that point local streets may suddenly be clear of gridlock.
Tonight's free concert at the Annenberg Community Beach House features Johnny Boyd and Friends. Next month we have two Santa Monica Candidate Forums, one for City Council and another for the Santa Monica College Board of Trustees and the Santa Monica Malibu Unified School District Board of Directors. Save-the-Dates are below. Plans are in the works for the first Mid City Neighbors Oktoberfest Chili Cook-off, details forthcoming and appropriately volunteers for the Westside Food Bank are picking up donations. All details should be below.
Have fun this Labor Day weekend, and be safe.
See you down the road,

"If Frank Sinatra and Johnny Cash had a love child, it would be Johnny Boyd." - NPR
No one exemplifies modern-day crooning better than Johnny Boyd: smooth, romantic vocals; a classic gentleman's style; and dynamic, irreverent performances. But it's his fresh, emotive, all-original contributions to the Great American Songbook that will be his legacy. Boyd, a prolific songwriter, is renowned for his unique ability to seamlessly blend jazz, swing, pop, country, gospel and rock, bringing back the nostalgic charisma of a bygone era. Program called from the stage.
Stop by early to save your seat and check out the historic site. Picnickers welcome (no alcohol or glass permitted onsite.) Docents from the Santa Monica Conservancy are available from 5-6:30pm on Tuesdays before Beach=Culture at the Marion Davies Guest House.
